For Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the rules are different. All fishing for bass is prohibited between March 15 and the third Saturday in June.

See under “black bass” here:

http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/4026.html

Then if you scroll down and look at the regs by county it says for New York and Central Park all catch and release all year.

I think you’re thinking of striped bass in saltwater, which is April 15 – Dec 15:

Totally different regs than for freshwater bass.

not to be a pain in the ass
“Taking and Possession of Fish
A person may not fish for a species (not even catch and release) during the closed season for that species on a given water.” This is right off their web page
Ive had my butt chewed out more than a few times when I criticized people for catching striped bass out of season.

Since the Park is always catch-and-release, you can pretty much fish for largemouth there year round.
