Manasquan Reservoir Hybrids
A team from the state Division of Fish and Wildlife
Fisheries biologists recently set out to find out what types of fish
are in the 720-acre reservoir in Monmouth County's Howell Township.
Armed with electrofishing equipment that introduce electrical current
to fish-filled waters. The wattage stuns fish, allowing them to be
easily netted, but doesn't harm them.
The 4-billion gallon reservoir, opened 14 years ago, was built by
the New Jersey Water Supply Authority.
The Division made sure the builders left plenty of trees intact
along the edges of the lake. This "standing timber" is
crucial to many forms of wildlife and is particularly good shelter
for black crappie.
Even when trees were cut, the reservoir builders cabled them to
the ground and left the stumps they are important sources of shelter
for all types of fish according to the division.
The state also called for the spreading of small-sized gravel along
the reservoir's northern shore. The biologists hoped this would be
used for spawning by bass and sunfish.
The state stocked the new reservoir with largemouth and smallmouth
bass and tiger muskellunge. They also gave food -- in the form of
pre-spawn adult alewife -- for the lake's hybrid striped bass.
The Manasquan Reservoir responded well to Fish and Wildlife's work.
Anglers regularly report great days of fishing for bass, crappie,
sunfish, trout (in the spring), pickerel, catfish and some huge muskies.
But the electrofishing proved the fishermen weren't making up their
reports. "The first night of electrofishing for the Manasquan's
inventory report revealed a variety of species," says a Division
statement. A 20.5-inch largemouth and a 24.3-inch hybrid striped
bass were among the fish netted by the scientists.
More impressive than the reservoir's fish size is its fish variety.
The temporarily stunned specimens included all three types of bass,
sunfish, black crappie, chain pickerel, white perch, yellow perch,
alewife herring and gizzard shad.
