Default Advice Needed - Too long out of action

Hey there -

As a kid I fished just about any NJ body of water that had life in it....but most in a little creek across from my house that had plenty of little sunfish..and once in a while a rainbow trout. As an adult - I go up to Canada once a year - about 10 hours North of Montreal to LaCroix <sp?> near Chibugamu to go for Walleye and Pike. Nothing like the supreme untouched natural surroundings complete with Beaver <the dam building kind <grin> and Loons flying overhead. At night, the Northern Lights are visible It's a looooooong way to go for solitude - but nothing like it here.

Anyway - I want to break my 15 year old son into this game...so I can take him to Canada for our yearly trip. I know how to buy Medium action tackle at any Tom Dick and Harry sporting goods store. I know how to tie a knot and tie one on......I even know how to bait various hooks. What I do not know and do not want to waste precious time to learn - especially if I can get the help right here - is where in Morris county to take him where we can have a successful trip casting from shore.....As a kid, my dad used to take me to Spruce Run for the killer bass - and I used to fish Diamond Mill in Millburn and the resevoir upstream (just leave a six-pack at the caregivers back porch). I'm sure things have changed since that time.

Could some kind hearted soul give up a decent spot that I can take the kid to that will generate some action and have him fall in love with the best sport in the world?

Many thanks in advance........
