hey ive fished highpoint for years, its not that bad cause it usually has the first ice in nj, anyway i would say it is a fair ice fishing lake, but its not worth getting your nj liscence, if your from deerpark ny, youd be much better off goin to highland lake, im sure u know where that is. but if u do end up gettin your licscence, high point has perch, pickeral, bluegill, bass etc. ive also seem someon get an eel through the ice there, anyway hope that helps
