   Hudson River Early Summer: Stripers, Blues, and Prime Tide Windows

   Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Hudson River NYC fishing report. We’re sitting on a classic early‑summer pattern. The National Weather Service calls for a mild, mostly clear day over the city with light southwest wind around 5–10 knots, highs pushing into the upper 70s to low 80s, and only a slight chance of a stray shower late. That means comfortable conditions and good water clarity along the bulkheads and piers. According to NOAA tide tables for the Battery, we’ve got a predawn low, a strong incoming through the morning, and then a mid‑afternoon high slack before it ebbs again into the evening. In other words: moving water most of the morning and again toward sunset—the prime feeding windows. First light is just after 5:20 a.m., with sunset a little after 8:30 p.m., giving you a long stretch of workable light, especially that golden 2‑hour window around dawn and dusk. Hudson River anglers, local forums, and recent social reports out of Manhattan and Jersey City are all lining up: schoolie striped bass are still around, with a few keeper‑sized fish mixed in, plus steady action from harbor blues, cocktail size up to low teens. Closer to the piers and back inside the slips, folks are picking away at porgies, bergalls, and the occasional weakfish and fluke when the water cleans up on the flood. Best bet for stripers in this tide is to work the edges of the main current seams on the incoming. Bucktail jigs tipped with a small strip of squid or Gulp in white or chartreuse are putting fish in the net. Local sharpies also swear by soft‑plastic paddletails in bunker or “Albino Shad” patterns on 3/8–1 oz jig heads—bounce them slow along the bottom. At night or in low light, a black or dark‑backed swimmer or spook‑style topwater can draw explosive strikes around the light lines. For bait, fresh bunker is king. Chunk it on a fish‑finder rig just off the bottom along the channel edges. If you can’t get fresh, frozen bunker or herring still work, and bloodworms will tempt smaller bass and mixed bottom life. For blues, wire leader and shiny metals or poppers will keep you busy when they push bait to the surface on the rips. Bottom fishermen should bring small hooks and light leader. Sandworms or clams on high‑low rigs will score porgies and assorted panfish around structure. On clearer afternoons, try small bucktails or Gulp shrimp for fluke along sandy patches between the rocks and pilings. A couple of local hot spots to circle on your mental chart: – The piers around West 72nd Street down to about 59th on the Manhattan side: plenty of current breaks, steady striper and blue reports, and decent access. – The Jersey City waterfront, especially near Liberty State Park and the ferry terminals: good current, bait often stacked in tight, and regular catches of bass and blues when the tide is moving. Plan it so you’re set up and fishing an hour before the tide turns, fish through the swing, and keep an eye on bait flipping—gulls and terns will show you where the game’s on. That’s the word from the river. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure—if you dig these reports, make sure to subscribe so you never miss the next tide.

   Hudson River NYC Fishing Report: Building Moon, Strong Tides, Schoolies On The Move

   Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Hudson River NYC fishing report. We’re on a building moon phase and the **tide** is doing a lot of the work for you today. NOAA’s Battery and West 23rd Street tables show a classic two‑high, two‑low cycle, with a strong early **flood pushing in from the south** and a solid **ebb rolling out mid‑day into the evening**. Around the Hudson, that means best windows are **the last two hours of the incoming and the first hour of the outgoing**, especially around structure and current seams. Weather-wise, National Weather Service has us in **comfortable early‑summer conditions**: light southwest breeze, fairly stable barometer, and **partly cloudy skies**. That’s prime for fish roaming the channel edges and piling onto current breaks. Expect a soft bite mid‑day if the sun gets high and bright, then a pickup again toward the evening tide swing. Sunrise and sunset from USNO tables put **first light just after 5 a.m.** and **sunset a little after 8:30 p.m.** That **pre‑work gray light** and the **last hour before dark** are your money times, especially for stripers and blues sliding tight to the rocks and pier shadows. Recent action report from local tackle chatter and dock talk along Pier 25, Pier 40, and down by Battery Park has been **mixed but improving**. Schoolie **striped bass** in the 18–24 inch class are still around, with the occasional keeper pushing high 20s to low 30s. A few **bluefish** have been blitzing bait on the surface during the stronger tides, mostly 2–5 pounds. Daytime has seen steady **schoolie bass, cocktail blues, and plenty of harbor bycatch**—**snapper‑sized bluefish, sundial, and the usual mix of sea robins, eels, and the odd fluke** on the bottom rigs. If you’re throwing artificials, the hot producers have been **small paddletail swimbaits** in the 4–5 inch range, **white, bunker, and olive over pearl**, on 3/8 to 3/4 ounce jig heads to match that Hudson current. Anglers working the edges with **3/4 to 1 ounce bucktail jigs tipped with Gulp** in chartreuse or white are picking up fluke and the better bass. At night and in low light, **slim profile plugs**—sp minnows, small metal lips, and 5–6 inch soft jerkbaits—have been taking fish right along the wall. For **bait**, fresh is king. Local shops report **fresh bunker, sandworms, and bloodworms** moving quickest. A **chunk of bunker on a fish‑finder rig** dropped just off the rocks during the tide swing is still one of the best ways to connect with a bigger bass or blue. If you’re looking for mixed bag and just want rod bend, **peel shrimp or bits of clam** on hi‑lo rigs will keep you busy with smaller bass, perch, and panfish species that push up with the salt. A couple **hot spots** to keep on your list: - **Pier 25 to Pier 40, Manhattan side**: Fish the **current seams off the pier ends** and the **rocky edges just north and south of the structures**. Great for schoolie stripers on soft plastics and bucktails, plus roaming blues when the bait stacks up. - **Battery Park and South Ferry area**: Classic **meeting point of East River and Hudson water**, lots of moving current. Work **jigs and chunks along the bottom contours**; it’s snaggy but holds quality fish, especially on that outgoing tide flushing bait out of the harbor. Keep your leaders **20–30 lb fluoro**, especially with those cocktail blues around, and don’t be afraid to downsize lures if the water clears—those Hudson fish see a lot of hardware. That’s the word from the river. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

   Early Summer Stripers and Blues: Hudson River NYC Fishing Report

   This is Artificial Lure with your Hudson River NYC fishing report. We’ve got a classic early-summer pattern on the Hudson today. Light southwest breeze, muggy but not brutal, with air temps pushing through the 70s into the low 80s by afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy, with a chance of a brief shower late-day as that humidity builds. Sunrise is around 5:25 a.m., sunset close to 8:30 p.m., so you’ve got a long window, but the best bite will be early and late when the sun is low and the boat traffic eases off. Tides in the lower Hudson run a bit out of sync with the ocean, but figure low tide around mid‑morning and again late evening, with a good incoming push into the afternoon. The top windows will be that first couple hours of incoming and the last of the outgoing around structure. If you see the current slow and the surface slick up near pilings or rock edges, that’s the time to really work the area. Striped bass are mostly past the peak run, but a decent number of schoolies and the odd keeper are still hanging around the city stretch, especially in the deeper channels and around the bridges. Recent word from local pier regulars is a steady pick of 20–26 inch fish, with occasional bigger ones cruising through at first light. Bluefish have been popping in and out, mostly smaller “cocktail” blues smashing bait right on the surface when they show. Best producers from shore have been fresh bunker chunks and bloodworms on fish-finder rigs. If you’re throwing artificials, small to midsize soft plastics on 3/8 to 1 oz jig heads in pearl, bunker, and olive have been hot. Night anglers are doing well with black or dark-purple swimmers and soft plastics worked slow along the bottom. There’s also good mixed bag action: schoolie bass, blues, the occasional weakfish, and plenty of smaller species like white perch and assorted panfish up in the quieter marinas and creek mouths. If you just want steady bends in the rod, bring some lighter tackle and fish bits of shrimp or sandworms under a float around docks and riprap. A couple of hotspots to consider: - **Pier 25 to Pier 40 area (Hudson River Park)**: Solid access, good current breaks along the pilings, and consistent schoolie and bluefish action at dawn and dusk. Work soft plastics or small metal spoons along the edge of the channel and around the pier shadows. - **Around the George Washington Bridge and the rocky banks nearby**: Strong current, plenty of structure, and a shot at better‑class stripers when the tide is moving. Use heavier jig heads or bucktails, tip them with a soft plastic or strip of bait, and bounce them just off the bottom on the edges of the rips. Boat anglers drifting the channel edges have been picking fish on live or chunked bunker, especially where you mark bait schools. Keep one rod rigged with a metal jig or small topwater in case the blues push bait to the surface. Overall, think early, late, and on the move with the tide. Match your offerings to the local forage—bunker, spearing, and small herring—and keep changing angles until you find where they’re sitting.
