Ice was finally out at the Assunpink Wildlife Management Area lakes, said Sean from Harry’s Army and Navy in Robbinsville. Largemouth bass could be targeted from shore with shiners and slow-moving crank baits. Crappie fishing should be picking up there, and hair jigs and fathead minnows will do the job. The Delaware River at the Trenton power plant produced a bit of action on walleyes and a few striped bass, and shiners will take both.
Waters were open at the Colliers Mills and Assunpink Wildlife Management Areas, said Carl from the Sportsmen’s Center in Bordentown. Pickerel chased down No. 2 Mepps Comet Spinners and shiners. Now that pickerel are on the bite big time, sign up for the shop’s pickerel tournament March 20 to 21, benefitting breast cancer research.
Fishing was finally opening up, said Steve from Blackwater Sports Center in Vineland. Parvin Lake’s largemouth bass were coming alive, and Lake Audrey’s smallmouth bass were hunting down soft plastics and drop-shotted Senkos. Get ready to fish the lakes for crappies that should jump all over fathead minnows any day now. Small striped bass were sometimes caught on bloodworms in the lower Delaware River, and white perch could be bagged on the Maurice River on grass shrimp.
