Re: Take My Nephews First Time Fishing - Union county - Need Some Advice

Nomohegan is definitely a good choice. Fished there opening day and caught a few early. Not many people looked to be catching so there's probably plenty for your nephew :D . If he starts to get antsy you can always follow the trail back towards the river and see turtles frogs etc.

Re: Take My Nephews First Time Fishing - Union county - Thanks for the Help Guys

Update

First off thanks to everyone for all there suggestions

Took the boyz for there first ever fishing experience over to Echo lake early afternoon today , fished with worms , butter worms , power bait , salmon eggs and I even had a chance to throw a couple of phebes, mepps and lures = O-nada-zilcho nothing

I must give my nephews some props for there first time though , they stuck it out for 3 hours and started casting on there own like they have done it before . I was impressed , the little guy just kept trying and the older one got bored towards the end. Even have to give the wife props , she came to help out with the boyz , but once again they all fished hard with no complaints except towards the end , Why cant we catch any fish, nobody did who was there

There was 1 kid who came by and had a nice full stringer with 1- 20+ inch all rainbows , he said powerbait and lures did the job , the kid was fishing all morning and he was there the day before and caught nothing.

We fished next to a very nice lady who was there with her kids and she was part of the Newark Bait and tackle club who run the derby , she gave my nephews some free stuff and cant say enough about her and what the club does to run the derby. She said they stocked the crap out of it and some fish were caught yesterday and not much today. Nobody down the row caught anything all day.

It was a beautiful day,they enjoyed themselves and will go again

Thanks again to everyone for there help and will try again in a couple of weeks , might have to do a little solo-recon by myself - :D
