Grenloch Lake Fishing Guide, Camden County, New Jersey

• Overview

  In New Jersey, Grenloch Lake belongs to Camden County. The setting is farm and woodlot on every side. At 19 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Size puts it in the front rank of our Camden County list. You are 0.6 miles from Turnersville. Blackwood follows at 1.6 miles, then Pine Hill at 3.3 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Grenloch Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Reported across Camden County: bluegill, pumpkinseed, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Grenloch Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 76°F in July and bottom out at 32°F in January. The season stretches long at both ends here. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Grenloch Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. The mapped parking is Section C, half a mile away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Blackwood Lake, 1.4 miles out. Rules at Grenloch Lake are worth checking on the day.
