Fishing At Union Lake

AKA: Union Lake Wildlife Management Area

Fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, white perch, yellow perch and chain pickerel at Union Lake in New Jersey.

Considered one of the top bass fishing lakes in the area, Union Lake is a 900-acre lake in the south-central part of the state. In addition to bass, crappie, sunfish, catfish, perch and pickerel also reside here in good numbers. Anglers can check out about 10 miles of shoreline and the deeper regions of the lake which only reach 27 feet. Favored fish species in Union Lake are largemouth bass and black crappie. The Union Lake boat ramp, in the Union Lake Wildlife Management Area, offers boat launching for boats with up to 10 horsepower motors. This boat-motor restriction reduces the fishing pressure, which improves the success of those who wish to wet a line here. Adventurous anglers who don't mind a bit of walking can find areas for fishing from the bank.
