Kincaid Lake

Tucked into New Jersey, United States, Kincaid Lake is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Kincaid Lake should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• 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.

• For White crappie

  Target submerged structure like brush piles and docks; crappie relate strongly to cover.
