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.

Michael GregorettiRepeat angler3.3Verifiedgood trip
Half Day Trip PM on May 16, 2026 • 4 adultsOverall , 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 .

I am sorry to hear that you feel that way. During your trip, we experienced sustained winds approaching 30 mph against the tide, which made it difficult to maintain a proper anchor position during the first few hours. As a result, we drift-fished with bait until the tide increased enough to allow us to hold the boat in a suitable position and properly present our bait. Unfortunately, weather and water conditions are beyond my control. If I had believed there was a more productive location to fish under those conditions, we would have moved there immediately. I have spent my entire life on this river, fishing it since childhood, and I remain in constant communication with many captains and boats operating within a 20-mile radius to stay informed of current conditions and fishing activity. Regarding fuel usage, I want to assure you that saving fuel has never been a consideration when it comes to providing the best possible experience for my customers. I would gladly use my last gallon of fuel if it meant putting my clients on fish. Anyone who knows me or has fished with me can attest that I never spare expense when it comes to serving my customers. As for locating me, I provided you with the exact address. Additionally, Fishbooker does not permit captains to display personal phone numbers on their listings, which is why my phone number was not included there. I appreciate your feedback and regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.
