Lake Worth Fishing in Camden County, New Jersey

• Overview

  Lake Worth is one of the Camden County waters in New Jersey. The surface lies 115 feet up. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Camden County. Clementon lies 1 mile from the water. For a city, Philadelphia is 15 miles off. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lake Worth

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Camden County, recorded fish include bluegill, pumpkinseed and largemouth bass. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Take Lake Worth a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 76°F; the cold one sits at 32°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Plan any trip to Lake Worth around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Mapping shows a campsite some half a mile from the water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Rowand Lake, 0.5 miles away. Treat Lake Worth as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
