• Where to Fish on Little Silver Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Open biodiversity records for Ocean County list bluegill, pumpkinseed and white perch. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Little Silver Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.
