SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Just had 3 nice days of Striper fishing on the Hudson. So relaxing, drift fishing calm water and trying to be quick on the draw to set hooks on the nibblers, then get some drag ripped from ocean run fish. Had a blast. Here are a few pics to share. Special thanks to Ray K. for introducing Steve and I to this fishery last year and thanks Steve for setting this trip up for us.

I love living 5 minutes away from the River in Kingston!!! But I would rather live 5 minutes away from the Big Lake lol.

I live in Corning, which at first look seems like it is in the middle of nowhere. Every October after driving north 1.5hr + to get stream run fish my friends and I say the same thing. I do wish Saugherties was closer than 3.5hrs.

Heading to Saugherties on Monday to fish with Hudson River Charters. Captain George is a pleasure to be around. My avatar is from last year's trip. Hard to make out but the background there is a log floating in the river. The river was so blown out that there were docks floating down stream. We pinned bait on the bottom because of the immense stain, but this year with the lower water (feeder streams) we are gonna float fish them. I can not describe to you how I feel about this trip. Last year was a bucket list item and now I am just plain hooked on it. If you have never tried it, it is worth the trip. For you trollers, there are other captains who troll.

I describe stripers as a large mouth on steroids. The fight is a lot like the way the steelhead runs you out in the streams. They can have multiple runs too. It is a good time.

tight lines everybody!

We had a 59 striped bass day last year. It was unbelievable. Our biggest to date is 49.5 lbs. Big ole slob

Are the fish past Newburgh already? I live about a half hour away and am gona make a run on Sun. and Mon. 5-13,14. This has been an awesome year for stripers in the lower hudson. We were fishing out of Liberty S.P. ad it was remarkable 2 weeks ago. Still a ton of fish around the coast on rivers. Ayway, Im gonna hit Newburgh on Sun. ad hope there are some still around. I never time it right up there for one reason or aother. They are there one day and gone the next, but the scenery is great and its nice to catch big fish in nice calm water for a change.

Great Report and now Im all pumped for the weekend. Great Pics too, Thanks for sharig Hope to have a similar report next week but something tells me they will way up orth by then.

[jdm130]

Anyone try those Berkley Power bait blood worms or sand worms up there? We used them (pretty sure it was berkley) for fluke last summer and they out fished killies and squid.

[Jaycr343]

Way past newburgh. Catching em all up n down river to Albany

I'd say you'll be there prime time. It was great for the next 2 weeks in Newburgh last year. They come in waves I am told and I'm sure there are many more waves to come. Bloods are $7/doz across the river at Vinnys.

[TOP SECRET]

Buck it was good talking to you out there! We'll be out of newburgh sat and sun again, big blue bayliner... Ruff Rider, it will be like wheres waldo with the other 150 boats!
