What will i need to catch some good bass when i go fishing this sunday on rockland lake?
I was planning to go fishing on rockland lake. Am i able to catch fish from the edge without going to the water? Another place i was planning to fish on was the hudson river. I live in the bronx so i was planning to go fishing somewhere near the tappanzee bridge.

You can never go wrong with a power bait plastic worn run with a Texas jig and patience remember even in tournaments it could take 4 hours to catch a good bass.
Winter time Bass are a challenge, Especially in the North
If you are fishing a tournament they probably won’t let you use live bait–they don’t here anyway-so you gotta get to the fish,you might Texas rig a 10 inch rubber worm use a sinker large enough to let you fish the bottom and work the worm real slow, cold water slows the fish down a bunch, if the river is really deep the fish might be just 3/4 of the river depth. after your cast try counting to 10 before you start your retrieve
next cast try counting to 5-next try 7-the fish are in there somewhere you just gotta find them, once you do your in
I didn’t mean to treat you like you didn’t know how to fish

My answer is just how I would attack the situation..

you’ve got what it takes”””
If you are not fishing a tournament and plan to harvest them
I would get me some – real small minnows, and try them
Bass are ornery when it is cold, and won’t eat until they are almost starving , good luck
u dont need a boat. shore fishing is just fine. Right by the bridge just south of it is a pretty good spot.
