New to North Jersey.

I recommend you go to Bait and Boat Sport Shop on Lake Muscanetcong. They are located in Netcong (Rte. 183) rear of the old Hess station right on the lake. You can rent a row boat or motor boat from them for either a half or whole day. They sell all kinds of minnows, worms, and are the biggest bait supplier in the state. They open 5:30 am. Lake "Musky" is loaded with fish. Especially bass, pickerel, crappy, and big bluegills. I've also caught big channel catfish there. It's stock with trout. The shop is 1/2 mile north off Rte. 80 or Rte 46. Good luck and welcome to the site.

Fish the Passaic!!! Smallmouth, largemouth, pike, catfish, perch, and crappie. The smallmouth and pike fishery is amazing.

Grunt,

I just fished the Saddle River at Dunkerhook (Saddle River Park). Lots of carp and trout sitting at the top of the falls, but are tempermental. Would not take anything.

I would try going further north on the river, closer to the NY/NJ state line and in the mountains. I'll be trying that next.
