    No, . . . . .  the Hudson was not specifically mentioned in the article . . . .but due to the Hudson being a major spawning ground for
    stripers each Spring. . . .and in view of what they have already done (regs.) in the Chesapeake (Maryland ). . . . mark my words . . . .they will completely close either a portion or the entire season in 2026 . . . . . .

        . . . . . . .I plan to go Blackfishing in the L. I. Sound next April if that occurs! . . . .Unless they close THAT TOO?!?!?!?

Like I said . . . . .
        . . . . . . . . Stay tuned!   . . . . . .until then . . . . . Tight Lines brethren!!! . . . . and sistren!!!!!!
