Raritan Bay
A public lake in from the Great Lakes to the Adirondacks, with public boat and paddle access.
Overview
Raritan Bay is a public water in from the Great Lakes to the Adirondacks, open to boating, fishing and paddling. Anglers here target smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, muskellunge, trout and panfish. The Great Lakes, Finger Lakes and rivers hold trout, salmon and steelhead.
Best Time to Visit
Spring and fall are typically the most productive and comfortable times to fish here; summer brings the warmest water and the most boat traffic, and winter offers hard-water fishing once safe ice forms.
Safety
Conditions are usually milder than big water, but wind can still build a chop on open stretches. Watch for shallow bars, stumps and swimmers near shore, and check the forecast before a long run.
Recreation
On a lake like this, weed edges, drop-offs, points and structure hold fish through the open-water season.
Public access points along Raritan Bay put boaters and paddlers on the water.
