Yeah you were at Lenepe Park by the shooting range... You can access Blackbrook from 14th or 15th street (Traffic light at the school) travel doen about a mile and they'll be a snall parking lot on the right...you'll probably miss it the first time.... Caught 3 small ones early this evening....

It's at Blackbrook Park in Kenilworth.....

What no "Welcome Aboard"? LOL Shallcross Pond.....

Hey all, newbie here....Yep from Jersey (Union County). I've been a saltwater guy for last 10 years, fluke and stripers mostly... The expense of the fishing boat and gas as well as the family obligations and other interests (golf) have recently cut down on my primary fishing routines... I've been in my house for a 11 years with the golf course and park 5 minutes away...Saw some kids with fishing rods walking down the street last year and asked where they where fishin...they said the local pond. I'd been there and never thought much about it...asked what they were fishin for and they said "bass". I was in disbelief, but they said there were plenty of bass in the pond.... On an off day a week ago I decided to take the dog and a rod down to the park and toss a few in...caught a tiny blue gill and then 6 small bass! I mean pretty small...maybe 10 inches tops, with most smaller...but d**n I was impressed..I relaxed, enjoyed the day and got some action..and then...got the bug.... I hadn't been freshwater fishing 5 times in the last 30 years...I had some gear but was cluless as to what rigs etc...I should use...I went with worms and bought some Berkley gulp nightcrawlers...been back 3 of the last four days as it's a five minute walk from the house...the dog loves it, and I've been catching fish each day and enjoying myself. Figure there has to be some bigger fish in there and have been practicing very rusty technic not expecting much...and enjoying the hell out of it...I'll be back tomorrow for an hour or so, funny how time flies....
