Planning a Gowanus Fishing Trip Today?

I have an old fishing charter poster that based on the printing, I’m assuming was from the 50’s or 60’s for a boat that was docked on the Gowanus. Somehow in my mind, fishing and Gowanus should never be mentioned in the same breath. That being said, two or three years ago when the flushing tunnel was running with some regularity, there were regular anglers who fished the canal.

I hear Gowanus fish have a very unique flavor — perfect if you’re someone that likes to give you dinner guests a little extra something special.
