The Hudson River is a 315 mile river that flows from North to South through eastern New York State and empties into the Atlantic Ocean.  The Hudson River is joined at Troy by the Mohawk River.  South of Troy, flows south into the Atlantic Ocean between Manhattan Island and the New Jersey Palisades, forming New York Harbor.  The Narrows, a tidal strait between Staten Island and Brooklyn, connects the upper and lower sections of New York Bay. It has long been considered the maritime "gateway" to New York City and historically has been the most important entrance into the harbor.

Striped Bass fishing is popular in the Hudson River.  These fish usually start showing up anywhere from the end of March to the middle of April and fishing season runs through November.  You can fish anywhere on the Hudson River above the George Washington Bridge.  Rapalas, Striper Swipers, and Bombers are popular Striper fishing lures on the Hudson River.  When striper fishing on the Hudson River look for structure near moving water.  Due to limited quality shore access on the Hudson River, it is best to hire an experienced Hudson River Fishing Charter.
