Yes...you read right- New York City! Didn't think there were any bassers in the Big Apple, did ya? Well, we exist! My #1 fishing spot is the iconic Central Park, where I fish for both large & small mouth bass- and the occasional crappie. Here's an example of what you can catch in NYC. I look forward to being part of & contributing to the bassresource forums. Tight lines to all & to all tight lines!

    Welcome. I was born and raised in NYC. Only places I have gotten to fish for bass is Van Courtland Park and a pond in Yonkers. I always wanted to get out to Central Park. Just hasn't happened yet.

    Welcome from Maryland. I grew up on L.I.. Learned to fish at Ali pond park, and Valley stream park. Aah the memories.

    Van Courtland lake sucks for bass fishing. I think in part due to locals taking fish. That's the case recently, anyway; maybe things were better when you fished there. It is one of the best spots in NYC for yellow perch, though (according to the DEC's statistics). If you ever find yourself in NYC & need someone to guide you through CP, shoot me a message! I'd be more than happy to show you around. Tight lines!

    I'm gonna try to hit Van Courtland more this season, I only visited it twice last season. Are people still catching bass there?
