It's February 16, 2026, crisp winter vibes at 8:29 AM, and we're talkin' tides, bites, and where to wet a line today. Tides around Alpine on the Hudson show low at 1:34 AM, high at 7:55 AM pushin' 4 feet, low again 2 PM, and evenin' high around 8 PM—perfect for striper chasin' on the flood, per Tide-Forecast.com. Sunrise hit at 7:19 AM, sunset 5:58 PM, givin' ya solid daylight windows. Weather's chillin' in the low 30s, light north breeze, partly cloudy—bundle up, but that stable cold's got fish schooled tight. Fish activity's pickin' up with stripers spawnin' numbers buildin' strong, reports from NJ Woods & Water forums buzzin' about solid catches last week. Striped bass are the stars, 20-40 pounders hittin' hard, plus blues, fluke holdovers, and white perch in the mix. Limits are common if ya time the tide right—anglers pullin' 5-10 stripers per outing recently. Best lures? My namesake artificials shine: white Clouser minnows or bucktails on the swing for stripers, small jigs and spinners for perch. Live bait rigs with bloodworms or eels on bottom bouncers crush 'em too, especially channel catfish mixin' in deeper holes. Hot spots: Hit the George Washington Bridge rip-rap on the flood—stripers stack there. Or try Inwood Park piers for easy access and consistent action. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!
