Depends on if I wanna target stocked trout, really. I fish lakes that arent stocked and lakes, river, streams, ponds etc that are. NJ Fish & Game website has a comprehensive list of all stocked waters in NJ in 2014. When pounding the shorelines, I do what I have to do to get to the fish lol... simple as that. I try to stay as "legal" as possible in regards to trespassing, but there's ample legit shoreline all over. I often walkabout... good way to find good water if you don't mind huffing it.
But peep the map, use the NJF&G website, then go out and cast till your arms fall off. There's plenty of water in our area--thats for sure! Nothing teaches better than the experience.
