I do like it here in northern NJ, but the Pine Barrens in the south (where Dix is) is a nice place too (if you don't run in to The Jersey Devil). I have cousins down there (no relation the the Devil). Great pickerel fishing down there in the ponds & creeks. Up here, the trout fishing can be very good at times, and smallmouth fishing is usually good. There is a huge shad run in the Delaware each Spring, but I don't really fish for them (coincides with prime trout season).
For a real challenge, try ice fishing with dry flies.
