I take my kids to Best Lake in Watchung and they always catch fish there using small live worms on a #8 hook. Lots of Sunfish, Bluegills and a few small cat fish. My daughter in 7 and my boy is 4.

thanks but that's a bit far. We went to Elmwood Park by the boat launch this evening and not a bite with 3 poles!!! Just alot of moss.

Can someone point me in the right direction of the river? I'm not talking an exact spot but maybe a town.

Al, any luck fishing with your kid? I take my 9 year old to the Oradell Reservoir and always catch something - it's quite easy to catch Sun fish there, a bit harder to catch Yellow or White Perch and quite difficult to catch bass (at least for me).

Me no, but he's been catching plenty of sunnies. I decided that he'll use live worms with small hooks and that's what's been working for him. I've been switching back and forth between senkos and spinners. Went to a what looks like a great spot too but nothing.

easier to catch with live worms at Oradell .. I have been using buzz bait (kept catching yellow & white perches on this as well as sunny) and catching bass with Texas Rig on Black Grape Worm and Storm's Live Kickin' shad..
