Hey DWS,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Some times life happens
I fish Surprise Lake and Sealys Pond in the Watchung Reservation. When I feel like walking I'll fish the creek/river that connects the two lakes.
What ever you throw, will connect at one time or another. I like to throw top waters. The water in SL is shallow so they work well. At SP the water is deeper, I'll throw a T Rig worm or a Carolina Worm.
Make sure you bring some weedless stuff, the weeds get thick!
I'll start near the parking area, and work my way down to the d**n. Coming around the lake anding back at the car. Bring some boots, the edges of SL are muddy. Can't get to far side of SPond unless hip boots, or a long walk, or up a mountain.
Leave the car topper home unless you get a permit from Union County, you will get a ticket without it!!!
Hope this helps. If any one needs more info, PM me
