While I was on my way home from work around 10pm, I saw a few amigos fishing at the Bowling Green harbor. An approx. 30" blue fish on the ground caught my attention. I had to asked. It seems that this is a very good fishing spot, perhaps one of the best in NYC.
This is what I could gather from Ghana, our friendly fisherman:
Fishes: Striped Bass (30-40"), Blue Fish, snappers.
Bait: Bunker. (I supposed one could try using live bait)
Lights are not necessary.
Lines: at least 30 pound strength.
Others: Slider (If I have not mistakened, it's for the weight, allowing it to slide across the line)
As many would know, Blue fish has strong jaw and sharp teeth, strong enough to cut nylon lines. Hence, steel lining is required at the end.
Time: 7pm - 7am. (There are ships in the day time).
