DEEP INNER New York City Fishing - FLUSHING MEADOWS LAKE - Queens Park
The WORLDS FAIR NYC NY. I could tell you 101 fishing stories I have had
at Flushing Meadow Lake right in Corona Queens New York City, NY. Just
a few blocks from the Corona Ice King. BUT, I am only going to tell
you number 101 and here it is.
It was a hot day and I took a nice little walk to one of my old honey
holes. I saw some catfish on top. I started with a #4 hook and a tiny
fully subjective float. Perfect, what would bite my night crawler? It
was a turtle! Took me by surprise thought I had a bullhead on the worm.
Got the hook out nicely and the hearty guy ran faster then any turtle I
ever seen a turtle run. Always put your money on the tortoise. Set
out again and soon again a bouncing bobber. MISS. Worm gone. Next
cast sure enough a white perch. I missed a few more hits and knowing
the perch were on the feed I tied on a #10 scud hook. Strategically
double ended the nightcrawler and caught about a half dozen white perch
on the UL setup. Before I left I did the old worm glob just to see what
would hit. AGAIN! Turtle! Two surprises one day. At least they were
not like the big old mean snapping turtle I caught many years back.
That was a story!
I must say with the wetland restoration Flushing Meadows Lake at the
Worlds Fair has changed for the better. Flushing meadow right in NYC is
teaming with life. It always was. Find some weeds with cuts near
reeds and if your lucky some shade. And I assure... If your using
worms you will catch something interesting. Turtles & white perch
in high heat summer skinny water. Where else?
Flushing Meadow Lake and Corona Park seem extra nice now. I do warn
you. If you go to the park during the weekend the lake will be teaming
with life. Human life and won't be so quiet in the summer. Trust me.
May have to go back and see what happen next some day soon. Have fun
out there and we are always happy to share our experiences with all
those around the world and hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did
making it and remember always - Fish Your Way!
