Fish species in Vitale Pond

Vitale Pond is a reservoir in Bergen County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Vitale Pond, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Vitale Pond

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Vitale Pond, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Vitale Pond

Fish reported from Vitale Pond include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Vitale Pond largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Vitale Pond respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Vitale Pond for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Vitale Pond.

Chain Pickerel

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Vitale Pond.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Vitale Pond

Fish one section carefully enough to learn the productive depth before moving to a different part of the water on Vitale Pond. Then compare the incoming-water end of Vitale Pond with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Vitale Pond

Spring at Vitale Pond favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Vitale Pond, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Vitale Pond become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
