Southern NY(westchester) catfishing?

I never targeted cats before and would be interested in giving it a shot. If anyone has any suggested spots I would appreciate it. Looking to take my boys for an evening into night experience.

Crappyice, many NYC watersheds have cats, use cut baits or dead shiners, etc and you'll get them from the shore. Make sure you have your DEP permit and NYS fishing license and you'll be good to go.

I prefer rivers for cats and it's a wee bit early(for me) although I have had alot of action this early so you should do good. I'm just getting into pike/bass mode.  Catty fishing is a blast and Shawn has it right, use cut bait!! Good luck!
