Monmouth county Pond for easy shore Fishing

[John D.]

Have an 8yr old son who have been fluke fishing on charters for 3 years now. He misses fluke already lol. Is there a pond in Monmouth county with shore fishing with a good shot at catfish or bass this fall? I don’t think Monmouth county is stocking trout this fall in ponds and and don’t want to fish a stream or lake from shore.

Any help appreciated and he won’t want to fish for sunnies lol

Thanks!
John

Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold. Hot dogs for the cats, shiners for the bass.

Holmdel Park Pond. The Manasquan Reservoir is definitely not a pond but there are some nice spots on the western shore (e.g., the rocks next to Georgia Tavern Road).

go to molders and use shiners and livers on the bottom, especially with kids who are bored with sunnies its like shooting big fish in a barrel

There is a fishing for kids event in Neptune. Check out the link from the Division of Fish and Wildlife. In fact, if anyone on this board has kids, check out an event near where you live. Also notice the number of counties that have no sponsors or events. Does anyone have the interest and enthusiasm to get behind this program in a pond near you?
