Local fishing spots?

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Used to fish a lot when I was up in Vermont.  Not so much here - got some new equipment and looking to get back into it.  Freshwater fishing - mostly shoreline.

 

Anyone know of any good local fishing spots?  Not looking to go too far from Linden...  I've heard Rahway River's stocked with some trout... and some ponds around...

Middlesex reservoir is supposed to have some fish.  I've never fished there, but it looks like it might work.  Not sure about the neighborhood. 

 

Most freshwater spots I've been to are a ride for you.  Princeton/Hillsborough area.

Have you fished there?  I was looking at that - someone said online that there's not much luck there, but maybe they were just trying to protect a great fishing hole

I've been going there since I was a little kid, The lake isnt gigantic, but the real jewels can be found around the streams that wrap around the lake.

Nice, thanks.  Any suggestions on bait?  I generally just use nightcrawlers...

 

Also - where to park?  I've been looking at google maps and street view and haven't seen any real good place to park..
