20-acre lake near Greenwich Township. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Greenwich Lake runs 20 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 43% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Gloucester County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Schuylkill River, 8 mi northeast of here.
Spring puts largemouth bass in skinny water — 2 to 10 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 20 ft, wintering in 10 to 33 ft. Spring largemouth bass concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
