Striped Bass Bonanza on the Hudson - Artificial Lure's Wi...

What this episode covers

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for Hudson River fishin' from the NYC piers to the upriver bends. It's February 20, 2026, 'round 8:30 AM, and we're lookin' at a crisp winter day on the water—temps hoverin' in the low 40s, light north winds at 5-10 knots, partly cloudy skies accordin' to the latest marine forecast. Sunrise was at 6:58 AM, sunset 5:42 PM, givin' us a solid 10+ hours of daylight. Tides at Beacon on the Hudson show a low of -0.08 ft this mornin', with incoming current buildin' through midday—NOAA Tides predicts a strong flood tide pushin' baitfish around, perfect for striper action. Fish activity's pickin' up as waters warm slightly to 42-45 degrees. Striped bass are the stars right now, schoolies and keepers from 28-40 inches movin' through the estuary, per Keepin It Reel Sportfishing out of Hyde Park—they're hammerin' live baits like bunker and herring in the channels. Outdoor News notes juvenile striper production's down but adults are holdin' strong near structure. Smaller numbers of white perch and herring in the mix, with reports of a few big eels strugglin' past dams from Riverkeeper patrols. Catfish and occasional black crappie showin' in slower eddies, but stripers dominate catches this week. Best lures? Go with live bunker on a fish-finder rig or driftin' live herring—Captain Chris Oliver swears by it for big Hudsonside stripers. Artificials like white bucktail jigs (1-2 oz) twitched slow in the current, or soft plastics like Zoom Flukes in pearl. Natural bait: bloodworms or clams for perch, nightcrawlers if you're bank-bound. Hit these hot spots: The GWB piers for easy access and current rips holdin' stripers; or Inwood Park north of NYC where the Spuyten Duyvil meets the Hudson—deep holes and bait pods. Up near Hyde Park if you're trailered, for trophy potential. Bundle up, check regs—free fishin' days were last week but season's open. Tight lines!
