Hudson River NYC Fishing Report: Frigid Temps, Stripers, and Panfish Bonuses
Published 3 months ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Hudson River NYC fishing report for Monday, January 26th, 8:32 AM. It's a chilly one out there—frigid temps, snow, ice, and sleet hittin' hard across the region, with courts even closed due to the weather, per Mid-Hudson News. Bundle up if you're bravin' it!
Sunrise kicked off around 7:20 AM, sunset 'bout 5:00 PM this time of year. Tides at Alpine on the Hudson show high at roughly 1:30 AM and 1:45 PM, lows at 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM—fish the outgoing for best action, says Tide-Forecast.com.
Fish are slow in this cold snap, but winter striper runs are on—big ones up to 60 pounds have hit the Hudson before, like that state record in Orange County waters. Striped bass, smallmouth bass, and panfish like bluegills, perch, and crappies are key now. Recent reports from Wired2Fish push winter crankbaits on channel swings for cold-water bass; try small topwater lures or worms under a bobber on the Wallkill stretch. Artificial lures shine—light tackle crankbaits in rock transitions or natural colors. Live bait? Worms or minnows for panfish that turn into bass bonuses.
Hot spots: George Washington Bridge area for stripers on the drop-offs, and Inwood Park shores for easy access smallmouth. No boat? Plenty of public spots.
Stay safe on the ice-slick banks, check regs, and wear your PFD.
