About Makepeace Lake
Makepeace Lake, in New Jersey, United States, is the kind of reservoir where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Makepeace Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques
- For Black sea bass
When fishing around wrecks or reefs, use a heavier weight to quickly get your bait to the bottom and avoid snags; consider using braided line for increased sensitivity and strength.
- For Redfin pickerel
Target areas with vegetation or submerged structure, as Redfin pickerel are ambush predators that will wait for their prey.
- For Chain pickerel
Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs due to pickerel's sharp teeth, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what they're hitting.
