I'm not that far from you. I tried some freshwater spots near here a couple of years ago when I was new to the area. I was underwhelmed by the public options as compared to northern NJ in the middle of the state.

A couple of years ago I fished either Lake Barnegat or Deerhead Lake for bass. I don't recall which it was but I do recall getting skunked. I went back on a "see if there is any life there" trip and caught very small sunnies and small catfish from the bank on barbless trout hooks with worms under tiny bobbers on 2lb test. The water didn't look great. I fished the salt the next day and had a blast. So, long story short, listen to Eddie. If you have a boat the blowfishing has been good in the bay of late feel free to PM me for more details, but sometimes kids have a hard time with those little baitstealers.
