Fishing for world-class Striped Bass on the Hudson River is an exhilarating experience, especially when using live and chunk bait with light tackle.

The river's strong currents and the Bass's powerful runs make for an exciting challenge that demands both finesse and strategy. Live bait, like herring, entices the biggest stripers, while chunk bait creates a scent trail that draws them in.

Using light tackle adds to the thrill, requiring precise drag control and patience as these hard-fighting fish test every bit of skill.

Hooking into a trophy-sized Striped Bass in the historic waters of the Hudson, feeling the rod bend under its weight, and carefully working it to the boat is a truly unforgettable experience.

    good trip

    Half Day Trip PM on May 16, 2026 • 4 adults

    Overall , I would say , the fishing trip was Pretty lame. The captain seemed more interested in saving fuel than Providing. A good fishing experience. I would have preferred to spend a few $100 more and get a better effort at finding fish. i think i should be given that option i would likely try captain mike again we would need to review the details first. also the captain needs to clearly identify where the slip whrre boat is located. and the name of the boat please clearly indicate your phone number in as many places as possible .

Captain Michael Krom has been fishing his whole life and loves sharing his knowledge for rewarding and memorable fishing experiences. He is a United States Coast Guard Master Licensed Captain with over 30 years of fishing experience. He has been on the water his entire life. My bluefin tuna fishing experience has been nothing short of incredible, thanks to learning from a 30-year veteran of the sport. Under his guidance, I mastered essential techniques like reading ocean currents, understanding tuna behavior, and perfecting the art of blue fin tuna fishing. Each trip out to sea has been a test of patience and skill, battling these powerful fish that demand both strength and strategy. The thrill of hooking a massive bluefin, feeling the raw power of the fight, and finally bringing it aboard is unmatched. Every lesson from my mentor has deepened my appreciation for the sport, turning each catch into a testament to experience and dedication.
