I've had better action with pickerel than bass at Ramapo Lake. Rarely been skunkere there. The trail that goes around the lake offers good shore access and you usually have at least some degree of peace and quiet. I've done very well with bass at Scarlet Oak Pond, the first lake on the Reservation, but the place quickly becomes swamped with walk-joggers and dog-walkers.
