Hudson River Report

Hudson River Striped Bass Update – Tuesday, April 15, 2014 Hudswon river Mile 118 Catskill, NY. Tom Gentalen has the best JR Report in the valley.

.

We have been receiving reports of stripers all the way past the Coxsackie area already but these fish are all smaller, nothing above 30 inches in length has so far been reported. But - herring have been reported up past the Bethlehem launch site. Here at the River Basin our shipment of bloodworms was very limited and now they are all gone. However we did just receive our first load of fresh river herring baits this morning and they should be available from this time on. ( hope they were just kidding around when they were predicting snow for tonight ) Tom G

Hudson River Striped Bass Update – Monday, April 14, 2014.

.

That large school of herring that arrived at Germantown on Saturday has now advanced much further upriver. Some were caught in the Stockport creek yesterday evening and this morning their numbers were reported to be even better. And, at this time, there is a good chance that some of them may have already made it to the Albany area. This warm spell we are in has caused lots of snowmelt from the upstate Adirondack region and this will probably slow the upstream progress of the fish due to higher dirtier coming down. Of course the mid-week rains being predicted starting tomorrow might only serve to screw things up even further. We’ll see.

We are also aware of several striped bass being caught a little bit to the south of Catskill on Saturday – the largest about 30”. Those fish seemed to be trailing that school of herring moving upriver. Yet others of that grouping of fish should be up past Catskill by now. TG

You can go on the River Basin Sport shop site and follow the progress of schools of herring, shad and striped bass as they move up the river to await water temperatures that will keep their eggs alive.
