Bass & Perch

Freshwater Basses

Note how the mouth of the Largemouth extends under the eye, while that of the Smallmouth stops short of it. A lot of fishermen seem to think everything they catch is a Largemouth.

Bass are not suitable for the aquarium except in solitary confinement. They are extremely aggressive, and will kill any tank-mates.

Deal Lake - Asbury Park

Deal Lake
( 40.23338, -74.01328 )

Deal Lake - Asbury Park (N) ( 40.23759, -74.00784 )
Deal Lake - Asbury Park (S) ( 40.22957, -74.00938 )

This lake has a lot of different branches to explore, and you can actually go quite a long way. The two marked sites are the best accesses for the northern and southern branches of the lake. Unfortunately, located in the middle of Asbury Park, the water is not the cleanest, especially near the railroad and toward the drain at the beach. The 'headwaters' are better.
