I haven't fished it in yrs n I know it's known for a white perch, herring, carp, n pickeral but Im a basshead looking for a close lake in Ocean county. I mostly fish the Assunpink chain of lakes n manasquan reservoir is by far the healthiest ecosystem around, but it gets windy. Figured Forge pond shud Hav good bass since there is a herring run thru there.
