How's the fishing in Prospect Park right now?
I want to go check it out tomorrow.
 
most fish will be sluggish due to the low temp, but you MIGHT have a shot at Bullheads, Carp, and Bowfin.
Use something like cut fish (Herring is good, very oily)
 
Someone correct me if i am wrong but i think it is illegal to use herring as bait fishing for freshwater in NY state drag a plastic worm across the bottom fish very slowly
 
I ended up trying to fish for herring that day but no bites :irked:
I'm probably gonna try fishing in Prospect Park next week (during vacation)
 
Are you referring to the Prospect Park in Pennsylvania?If so there is a pretty good aquarium store you can check out also.
 
Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY. Gene- where were you trying herring? I know people do it on the bay, but I've never caught any there. The best place seems to be a pier around 86th Street.
 
I tried in bay ridge
