Fishing in Liberty park

[NJ Dave]

I have fished near the flags in the park but like said, there is a small fence, more of a railing which passing over and onto the rocks is frowned upon.
You can cast over the railing and fish just fine. In the event you hook up you can deal with the landing then.
I don't believe the bridge to the statue itself is open but if you can get in the island you can find some deeper water off the channel.
There is a nice kayak launch in the park which may be an option.
Have not been there in a while bit like said it's close to home and is completely fishable waters
