But if you want to use your boat on bigger waters I would go for Union Lake, RVR, Ryker or Lake Audrey. But I kid you not every single big reservoir up in the north part has smallmouth. I dont think a single reservoir in Sussex or Passaic county doesn't have smallies. The reservoirs that you need to get a permit from (Canistear, Oak Ridge, Wanaque, Point View, Splitrock, Echo, Clinton) are the best smallie lakes because they are the least fished. Audrey and Ryker are release only lakes so they probably have a bunch as well.

Thank you for the info, Union lake was also another option, I hear they do well there. I was looking in to Lake Audrey last week, and the update on thier page doesnt look to good, it looks like the PH levels were coming back up, and fishing was down, and the fact that they also said, the locals were catching the bass and putting them in another lake... Nice right?
