Hudson River Stripers Are Biting - March 2025 Fishing Report
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Hudson River fishing report for March 17, 2025.
Let me tell you, the striped bass action is really starting to heat up as we head into spring. We've been seeing some nice catches in the 20-30 inch range, with a few monsters over 40 inches reported. The herring run is kicking off too, which means the stripers are on the feed.
Today's weather is looking decent - partly cloudy with a high of 54°F and light winds out of the southwest. Sunrise was at 7:02 AM and sunset will be at 7:05 PM. We've got a low tide at 11:23 AM and high tide at 5:37 PM, so plan your trips accordingly.
Water temps are still on the chilly side in the upper 40s, but that's not stopping the fish from biting. Anglers have been having the best luck with slow-moving baits like soft plastics and jigs worked near the bottom. White and chartreuse seem to be the hot colors right now. For those using bait, fresh or live herring has been the ticket. Chunked mackerel is working well too.
A buddy of mine nailed a 38-inch striper near the George Washington Bridge yesterday on a 6-inch white Slug-Go. Another regular at the local bait shop landed four keepers up to 32 inches trolling deep-diving crankbaits off Croton Point.
If you're looking for some good spots to try, the flats around Haverstraw Bay have been producing, especially on the incoming tide. The mouth of the Croton River is another solid bet. For shore anglers, Riverfront Park in Beacon has some good access.
Don't forget your striper stamp and make sure to check the latest regulations. Tight lines, everyone!
