On the shore was about a 8 pound catfish and a 10 pound carp. My question is this- Is Cox's park a safe place to fish at after dark? The park closes at 11pm, but I'd like to fish there from about 7-11. Anyone run into any trouble out there?
Somebody definitely has. There have been bodies discovered out there. Last one was just 8/7/07: http://www.wave3.com/Global/story.asp?S=6901465

There have been others, too. I drive by there a lot on my way to and from Slugger Field for Bats games. As many times as I've seen cops back in there investigating something, I'd say it's a place worth avoiding after dark. There's also a campground of homeless in the woods just across River Road, by the railroad tracks.
