Default Fall Night Bassin' in Union County...?

I have been doing a lot of night fishing these days, partly because its the only time I can escape for a few uninterrupted hours and partly because I have found I just really enjoy it. Anyway, I was having great luck in early fall at my closest ponds (day and night) - Nomahegan and Echo mostly, but also Lenape, Mindowaskin, Tamaques Reserve, UCCC Campus pond and one unnamed semi-secret honey hole. The past 2-3 weeks though I have been struggling with 2-3 excusrions ending in a skunk for every 1 where a fish is caught. I havent caught a single bass worth the effort of a picture since September.

Since I know there are a bunch of Union County or former UC guys on here i thpought I would solicit some help in finding some new lakes/ponds to check out. Not looking for any secret spots, I have spent enough time on google maps to know just about every pond worth knowing in UC and if I haven't fished it I have at least driven by to check its potential. Just wondering if any of the well known local lakes have been producing in Oct./Nov. The only prerequisite is I need to be able to access and fish possibly late into the night without getting arrested. With that said, I have no problem bending the "park closes after dark" rule if its commonly known to not really be enforced (as is the case in all the parks I named above where I have had no trouble fishing any time of night).

I think tonight I may check out Clark Reservoir, Ihave fished there 3 times during the day with zero luck, maybe I can do better at night. Where I access the lake also seems like I won't be bothered. Another pond where I know there is easy night access is Bloodgoods (winfield) lake. There are some office buildings on the south side whose parking lots go almost to the edge of the lake by the dam.

Sooo, any other ideas? Milton lake? Jackson Lake? Seeley's Pond?
