looking for shore fishing spots in Northern NJ

[bassnblues]

Try Cranberry Lake in Byram. There's a walkway on a good part of the shoreline and a place that rents rowboats. There are some powerboats but not crazy.

Round Valley has decent shore fishing for trout in the late fall and also the spring stocking season.

Looks like a pretty big lake. Any particular place you would suggest to fish? I would scout it ahead of time but it's about an hour away from home.

Only one side of the lake is walkable as the other is pretty much all private homesites.
The rowboat rental place is closed permanently if I remember right.
I just got back from the walking path along North side of Cranberry, as I'm recovering from some surgery and walking is good.
I'm 10 mins from there.
I've let my freshwater license lapse, as I fish primarily the salt the last number of years. I used to run my 14'
aluminum all over Sussex county lakes, power as well as electric. Have also walked a number of them over the years.

PM me for my phone # and I'll share what info I can recall.
Tight lines.
