Where to fish?

[NJSquatch]

take a look at the NJFGW sites to see what public waters are nearby

if you have a smartphone install the pocketranger app. It has a map that shows you the location of public waters

For immediate local 'Herringkings' suggestion of Strawbridge lake is likely your best bet. Starting them on sunnies, pickerel and small bass is always a good bet. High success rates generally equate to a strong interest in doing it some more! The species usually doesn't matter to 'new to the sport' youngsters, it's more about catching. Good luck with the lads! It's always nice to see/hear about someone taking the time and effort to introduce some young folks to our favorite pastime. Kudos to you!
