Default Overpeck Fishing?
Anyone fished at the Overpeck? They just finished the "new" Overpeck Park - south of existing park where you can fish. I tried football jig with trailer and some grubs last week. Not even a bite. Anyone else fished here?

Good Carp spot. Try dead sticking corn or dough and don't take your eyes off the rod!

No pike, no walleye, no pickerel, probably not any crappie. There's probably a few bass, but other than that I'd say it's mostly dirty river dwells like white perch, catfish and carp. I wouldn't be surpised if some stripers found there way up there though.

it probably goes without saying, but overpeck creek is pretty highly polluted (as is everything that is tidal upstream of newark bay). don't eat anything out of there.

Carp is the big catch there, but it isnt always easy. I haven't been there in years, but we used to make homemade dough that would work. I never had luck with corn, but I have heard it works. Never tried artificials there. Never heard of stripers north of the pseg dam. Its hit or miss, but if u find a good spot, you could have fun catching carp.
