Advice Needed - Too long out of action

[rutgersfan1]

adv...i posted the same question a while back except my oldest in 7...didn't get much feedback except to try the Passaic..which is also near you.

My son's not yet past the bobber/worm stage but I've caught a few small bass, a few small pike and a very large crappie (bigger than the bass and heavier than the pike) on the Passaic along the Essex County border.

Other than that recommendation, I don't have anything to add. Would like some more advice.

Passaic yes hopactong too pike walleye and swipers night is better on the lake, check out google and pick some water, many places around, might be time to get a small boat or a
Few kayaks would be even better, that's two hobbies , one sport

I'm not from Morris county, so I don't have any honey holes to send you to.

You might want to consider a 1/2 day canoe/tube float down the Delaware with your son. You have an opportunity to catch a mixed bag of decent fish. Smallies fight well in the river. Plus, you and your son can admire bikini clad girls floating down near you.

I would rent a boat and give Lakes Hopatcong, Cranberry or Musconetcong a shot.

Pound for pound i'll take a bluefish over any sweetwater fish as far as a good tussle is concerned. MedHeavy freswater tackle using poppers, bombers or metal. Awesome!
