Try this: http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/fishplc.htm

I have the paperback version of the 3 pamplets/maps on the top and they are pretty informative. Breaks down bodies of water and what fish are available in them. Check them out.

I just checked out Mays Landing on the NJF&W Pocket Ranger app and I see Lenape Lake and Maple Lake as good prospects for Bass, pans, and cats.

If you have a smart phone (I think me, Andy and Lard are the only ones left who don't

) get the Pocket Ranger Free app.

For more information about the application, see the DEP news release at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/newsrel/2013/13_0002.htm which has a link to download the app.

I grabbed them at one of the recent shows, they had stacks for passers-by to take. I'm pretty sure its the same info though, map of the state with the locations of the mentioned lakes, as well as a table with all the lakes and all the fish species. If a lake has, for example, Hybrid Striped Bass, it will have a little mark in that column for that specific lake. I haven't looked at it in a few months, but I'm pretty sure it folds out but info-wise, printing out the PDF should be just fine.

The App is even more kick-ass, as it uses your phone's GPS to show you fishing locations in your proximity.
