About Bass River
Bass River is a river flowing through New Jersey, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Bass River, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For White perch
White perch often school, so if you catch one, stay in that area to find more. Vary your retrieve speed until you find what they prefer.
- For Striped bass
Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.
- 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.
