Hudson River Fishing Report: Stripers and Perch Feeding Aggressively in Cold Water Conditions

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Hudson River fishing report. We're looking at a solid Sunday morning on the water. According to NOAA tide predictions, we've got high tide at 1:02 AM this morning and low tide coming in around 7:01 AM, so if you're heading out now, you're hitting that low tide window—perfect for sight casting and wading in the shallows around Alpine and the upper Hudson. Sunrise broke around 7:06 AM, so you've got excellent light penetration right now. The winter bite is firing on the Hudson. Recent reports show stripers and perch are active in these cold water conditions. The water temperature's dropping, which means the fish are feeding aggressively. Stripers are your primary target—they're staging in deeper holes and current breaks. Perch are also schooling up nicely in the channel. For lures, throw artificial offerings like small shads and swimbaits in white, black, and natural patterns. The stripers are responding well to jigging presentations too. If you're going live bait, shiners and herring are your go-to choices. Work the current seams and the deeper pockets where baitfish concentrate. Here's where you want to be: Target the areas around the submerged structure near Alpine and the deeper channel sections. The Tappan Zee area has been producing consistent stripers. Also work the current breaks where the tide funnels through the narrows—that's where the fish stack up waiting for an easy meal. Water's cold, so dress in layers and stay safe out there. This winter bite won't last forever, so get out while the getting's good. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's biting.
