Rt 206 / Southern Somerset Co. Bank Fishing ?

[NJGrant]

Dropping daughter off for softball practice 5 miles south of the Bridgewater Mall near Rt 206 tomorrow, and will have 90 minutes to fill until practice ends. Any walkable fishing access around there ?

I see 206 crosses the Raritan there but not sure of access and fishable shoreline there.

Just follow the parked cars....

Ton of options in that area. Just get on google maps and you will find several spots.
Send me a DM if your desperate.

Hi Pete...messaged you. am not very familiar with 206 south of the mall.

There's a stocking point on RT 206 near Bridgewater, near the funeral parlor. It has a big pull off for parking as well on the southbound side.

thanks....i'll look for it during next week's softball dropoff. Last night I didn't see any trout signs or parking pull-off on 206 South or North south of the mall. I don't see any funeral homes near water on googlemaps either. can you please be more specific ?

Last night I parked around the corner from the 206 bridge over the Raritan and walked down along the greenway path, fishing in a few spots. No trout signs, no birds, no people, no sign of any life. Mostly shallow, barren and fishless.

Then drove west along Old York Road to where it crosses the end of the North Branch, did see trout posting signs there and fished by the bridge and south for 100 yards or so, but still no signs of any life (fish, bird, bug, human).

Then ran out of time...went back to 206 area to pick up kid. Will try again next week if other suggestions.
