Can anyone recommend any good places to take kids fishing; with the opportunity to catch fish. I am thinking of pay per pound catfish ponds, perch or something similar. Suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated. Some places about a two hour drive from Philadelphia; it can be in Pennsylvannia or N J.
My Father-in-law takes my son to Moyers Lake near Quakertown off 309 heading north. Pay Lake...nice trout, bass...they have nice place. I don't know the prices but the have a web site. I can't post it ...not a sponser:huh:
This place isn't bad. It's about 35 minutes west of King of Prussia mall. Easy to find. Might be a little drive for you, but you can get your guys psyched up during the ride out- talk about your day on the way home. You don't need a license. Lots of fish there. The kids will catch something. Bring a camera.

There is a place located at rt 363 (Valley Forge Road) and rt 73 (skippack pike) in Worcester Montgomery County, that has a pay to fish pond on the site (Center Point Pond). No license required There are several types of fish (bass, trout, perch, sunnys and catfish) available there and you are almost guaranteed to catch something. I have taken my children there when they were younger and they had a blast. They also offer kids birthday packages and they can supply rods if you need them. A little expensive to pay for but still a good time for the kids. Not far from Skippack Village and you can take them up ther for a bite to eat. Also Evensburg Park is not far and some great hiking trails and drive around and look at deer and wildlife. Several places in the park to even have a picnic or barbeque. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/evansburg/evansburg_text_pdf.pdf

Hookemhard - I used to take my son to the hatcheries on Linden Ave. We always caught sunnies, sometime catties, and last time we were there he caught a tiny largemouth bass. The state no longer stocks those ponds, but other fishermen do so you never know what you might get. Also, there is a pier at Rhawn Street back by the soccer fields that (last time I was there) is safe (fenced) for kids. Also, FDR Park in South Philly has some spots by the shore where you can set up. None of these are pay places, though anyone 16 and over would need a license.
I want to thank all you guys for the info and advice. Can anyone recommend fishing spots in New Jersey to take kids fishing where they will have a good chance of catching fish. Safe places like ponds, lakes, or stocked ponds.
I'll second Linville Orchards. Their setup is very safe and can be a lot of fun.
