Also, I have pounded bass on the opposite shoreline from the gazebo by rental the paddle boats at Upper Echo Lake. That's another place to try.
Good luck.

I would love nothing more than to drop my yak in Clark (Middlesex) resi however as Eddie pointed out it is off limits to boats (especially during daylight hours). Also upper lake in Echo is one of the few lakes within the county park system where you can't kayak even with a county permit. I think they want the paddle boat rental to maintain its monopoly. The area above the falls in Winfkeld is definitely a possibility although I have fished there a few times without any luck.
Anyone ever kayak the UC portion of the Passaic? It looks like good access in Berkely Heights/New Providence? Would the current be super strong today after yesterday's rain? The Rahway was high this morning but not dangerously so.
