Looking for bass North nj
I'm new to fishing and my kids like it too. My 8year old and I are on a mission to catch a large mouth but I'm not that good at this. I see all these YouTube videos and read all these blogs trying to get ideas on how to land one, but no luck. I've bought spinner baits, frogs, senkos trying to rig them up how I see them online but its getting kinda of expensive. I live in haledon nj, tried fishing oldham pond, gofflebrook pond, franklin lakes reserve. Also went to ramapo lake and had no luck.
I fished lake aeroflux and we caught tons of sunnies but no bass. I want find maybe a better location to fish for bass without going too far out. Looking for a 20 min drive or so. Do anyone know of a spot that would give me a greater chance of catching one. Also I shoreline fish, don't own a boat or kayak. Any help or tips is much appreciated.

Hey,
Did not see Passaic River on those places you have mentioned. Passaic River and worms. Never will go wrong with worms. Also can try using live bait as well. Just my 2 cents

Re: Looking for bass North nj
Bass will be tucked into structure most of the time in a lot of places. Specially as the sun is up high. They will come out and nab a lure or bait if they're in the mood but you can up your chances by putting casts directly on/next to surface weeds, lily pads, big over hanging trees etc. if you go to Passaic be careful as you might have to deal with an angry thrashing pike.

Re: Looking for bass North nj
Welcome to the site! Seems like you've hit some great spots already, but adapting to different places all at once is tricky. They prefer different things on different trips for me.
Check your private messages, hope it helps.

.
Molder's Fishing Preserve in Old Bridge. It's a pay lake that is stocked with bass and huge catfish. Trout in the cooler months, too. https://www.facebook.com/moldersfishing .
