I had a similar experience fishing in Weequahic Park/Lake about ten years ago when I had just moved to Cranford/Union County and had no idea where to fish. A friend was visiting and wanted to go fishing so I took him to the only body of water I knew of nearby...the lake off rt. 22 that I saw every day during my bus commute to the city. We received a lot of interesting comments and saw lots of shady dealings, but did manage to hook one nice sized catfish.
