あらすじ・解説
As of October 27, 2024, the Hudson River around New York City is offering some exceptional fishing opportunities, especially with the current weather and tidal conditions.
Today's weather is expected to be partly cloudy, with a high of around 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. The winds will be moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10 mph, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water.
The tidal cycle is crucial for fishing here; today’s high tide is at 9:47 AM and the low tide at 4:04 PM. Sunrise is at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM, providing ample daylight for both morning and evening fishing trips.
Yesterday saw excellent fish activity, particularly for striped bass. Anglers reported catching stripers ranging from 25 to 45 pounds throughout the day. The night bite for stripers has also been strong, with many "nighstalkers" reporting success. In addition to striped bass, bluefish and some occasional weakfish were also caught.
The striped bass have been spotty but consistent in certain areas, particularly around the Statue of Liberty and the East River. Fish sizes ranged from schoolies to some larger bass up to 30 inches, with a few reports of bigger fish in the 40-inch range further up the river near Troy and Albany.
For lures, anglers have had success with slim-profile baits such as Tsunami sand eels, bullet SP Minnows, and Hydro Minnows. Live-lining bunker and using diamond jigs and hard plastics have also been effective. Baitfish like peanut bunker, mullet, and anchovies are attracting the fish, so using these or lures that mimic them can be very productive.
Hot spots include the areas around the Statue of Liberty, the East River, and further up the Hudson River near Troy and Albany. The Troy Dam and Wappingers Creek have also been producing some impressive catches.
Overall, it's a great time to get out on the Hudson River, with favorable weather and tidal conditions, and a variety of fish species actively feeding.
