Title: Hudson River Striper Migration
Post by: Pointer on March 24, 2023, 05:51:36 PM: Does anyone have an opinion on if there will be stripers in Hudson around Newburgh on the opening weekend? Also if throughout the season anyone has any info on the striper migration that they would like to share please post here?

Thanks in advance

It's supposed to be near 60 degrees tomorrow!

Post by: Gino_Alessandro on April 02, 2023, 06:08:09 PM: I should have, but hastily turned it into bait, which didn't result in anything. It took me about 45 minutes to get it and then nothing for another 3-4 hours. No herring today...
