I live in Union so most of the decent water is 45+ mins away.

I also live in Union County (Cranford) and just got back into fishing this past year. No need to travel 45 minutes for Bass, there are plenty of productive waters in UC. I have had good luck in our local ponds and rivers with 5" Senko (green w\ red fleck and black w\ blue fleck on a #4 EWG hook Texas rigged. Also done well with other soft plastics texas rigged usually with a small bullet sinker. Black\blue crawfish, green or white superflukes, brush hogs, tubes, 1\8-3\8 oz jigs, and Senko swim bait have all worked well. 3 inch curly tailed grubs on 1\8 oz football jig heads are also very versatile. I highly recommend trying your luck with the night bite as well, the biggest bass I caught through the summer were in local ponds at night (same soft plastics an jigs as daytime but always dark colors using a slower retrieval).
If you have any questions about local spots shoot me a PM. I am still out fishing locally for largemouth all the time and will continue to while the water is open, although these past two days were too cold to bother. Good luck!
