Re: Northern NJ Catfishing from the Banks
Try out Spruce Run Reservoir in the summer months. should be starting up soon with the herring spawn, and will be best after all the catfish finished spawning.
Good baits there are simple chicken livers and nitecrawlers. Go at night anytime from 8pm until 3am or even later.
Spruce is a good spot to catch a catfish for the table, much cleaner than Ramapo, Passaic, or Hackensack rivers (which all also hold catfish).
I'd use the same setup you've been using, good luck out there, and post some photos once you start hooking them!
