Colliers Pond Fishing in Burlington County, New Jersey

• Overview

  The Burlington County end of New Jersey holds Colliers Pond. Around the bank it is farm and woodlot. About 2 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Burlington County. Bordentown lies 2.1 miles from the water. For a city, Philadelphia is 27 miles off. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Colliers Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Survey and observation records for Burlington County include pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass and chain pickerel. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Treat Colliers Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 75°F, with January the cold end at about 31°F. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Colliers Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Crystal Lake, 2.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Colliers Pond if anything is unclear.
