“The Old Wharf” WMA, is a public access bank fishing area just below the “Trenton Makes The World Takes” Bridge.
Unfortunately, due to a 2005 high water event, & others, it got undermined & a good portion of it collapsed. It is officially closed, with a surrounding chain link fence.
However, some determined anglers (you can’t keep them away from a hot spot!) cut through the fence to gain access.
I go to a club, there, “Rho” (formerly Katmandu). When I arrive around 10:30 PM, this time of year, invariably I see a light coming from The Old Wharf,……….night anglers.
I always venture down there, & BS fishin’ with them.
Once, a guy had a nice channel,…………12 lbs. A week ago, one angler told me he had just released two 28” stripers.
No pit bulls, guns or knives,……just some guys fishin’,……..with music from the club providing a soundtrack.
I asked them, that since it is officially closed, did anyone ever hassle them?
“NJ F&W CO’s are cool,………they just check for our licenses. Mercer Co. Parks patrol, too,…. they sometimes kick us out.”
