Early Spring Stripers and Steelhead: Hudson River Report for March 27th
Published 1 month ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for Hudson River fishin' right here in the heart of NYC. It's Friday mornin', March 27th, and we're lookin' at a classic early spring setup on the mighty Hudson.
Weather's cloudy with temps hoverin' around 32°F—bundle up, it's chilly out there. Sunrise hit at 6:55 AM, sunset's 7:24 PM, givin' ya a solid 12+ hours of light. Tides at Turkey Point are runnin' steady, peakin' around 3.35 ft today per NOAA predictions—fish the incoming for best action.
Fish activity's pickin' up as waters warm slow. Recent reports show striped bass strikin' good below dams and in river channels on cut bait, shad, live goldfish, worms, and sunfish. Catfish—blue and channel—are hammerin' the same setups on flats and mouths. Steelhead are showin' fresh in spots, with anglers landin' 30-inchers usin' pink, white, chartreuse egg sacs, beads, and squirmy worms. Flows are steady at 1750 CFS dam release, 2020 CFS at Pineville gauge—fishable but watch for dirtier water.
**Best lures:** Go DB Smelt patterns or chartreuse beads for steelhead and stripers. **Top baits:** Live shad, worms, egg sacs in bright colors—match the hatch for these cold-water bruisers.
Hot spots? Hit the George Washington Bridge piers for stripers on the tide shift, or Inwood Park mangroves for reds and cats huggin' the points.
Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!
