rockaway borough or township? in the borough, the rockaway river is right there. you can fish it above the dam at jackson ave. bass, sunfish, etc. there are a lot of other parks along the river that offer shore access.
if rockaway township, even better... any of the ponds going up green pond road would be a good start. going north there is lake ames, the camp hudsonia pond (across from the school), and egbert's lake. over by picatinny arsenal/the mall is mt. hope pond which also has many shore fishing access points.
worm and a bobber at any of the above spots will have a good possibility of sunfish action for your nephew. they all hold larger bass, pickerel, etc as well if you toss some spinners, a rapala or something similar. good luck, have fun and thanks for taking a kid fishing!
