  • Summary

  • For those planning to hit the Hudson River in New York City today, here’s what you need to know:

    First off, the weather is looking pretty favorable, with mild temperatures and clear skies, making it an ideal day for fishing. Sunrise is at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM, giving you ample daylight for both morning and evening trips.

    Tides are an important factor, and today you can expect a high tide around 10:30 AM and a low tide around 4:30 PM. These tidal changes often trigger fish activity, so be ready to cast your line during these times.

    Yesterday saw excellent fish activity, with a good number of striped bass being caught. These school-sized fish, ranging from 20 to 40 inches, were actively feeding on sand eels and herring. You can also expect to catch some bluefish, particularly in the eastern parts of the river.

    For lures, using spoons and plugs that mimic the appearance and movement of sand eels or herring would be highly effective. Live bait, such as herring or bunker, is also a great option, especially when used with a Sabiki rig to catch multiple fish at once.

    As for hot spots, the area around the George Washington Bridge is known for its strong currents and structure, making it a prime location for striped bass. Another spot is the stretch near Croton Point, where the river's bend creates a habitat rich in baitfish, attracting larger predators.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day on the Hudson River, so make sure to pack your gear and take advantage of the active fish and favorable conditions.
