Foam blocks with the notch will serve you well. Just make sure you have plenty of straps.

. I live in Central NJ near old bridge and wanted to ask if any of you have a body of water ,that is accessible by shore,

first welcome! And i live localy right around you to. Im in south amboy and i gota say there are tons of nooks and cranys that will produce fish and dont knock the little crap spots some of my biggest fish come out of them! Get in your car and drive around for a day and search some areas out! I have spots that ive found over the last few yrs and have never even gotten a chance to fish them yet! Diffrent lakes could call for different tatics so dont knock the lake b4 a couple attempts!

Guys, I just wanted to come back tonight and really thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words and advice. I will most definitely post some fish I catch! I will probably be near the Princeton area trying the canal south and maybe Carnegie, if you see a gentleman with a Seton Hall shirt in that area, feel free to say hi!

If you walk the towpath, which is between the lake and the canal, you'll find a few spots to access each body of water.

another easy setup is the basstender line of boats and similar. U can usually get a 10-12ft boat w trailer and all for a grand or so off craigslist, I fished out of one for years when i was broke and stupid, I caught LOTS of fish. My buddy fished Hopatcong up until last year w one on choice days. They are light and EASY to trailer w a car, easy to launch and fish solo too. Bad thing about rooftop canoes is the amount of work to load and unload and u need a buddy to go too. A boat is much more stable too u can stand up in it, canoes not so much, but they all have there place
