WSJ: Fishing the Big Apple

Today's Wall Street Journal features an article about fishing, New York City style. There are 119 fishing spots--piers, parks, seawalls, and street-ends--along the five boroughs' 500 miles of shoreline listed by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. For New Yorkers, the water is never far away, but "it's hard to get your hands wet," notes John Waldman, a biology professor at Queens College and a lifelong city fisherman.
