Northern Pike
If you're after Northern Pike in the Nyack area, the Hudson River offers opportunities, though targeting them specifically requires some strategy. Focus your efforts in the same backwater areas where you'd find largemouth bass – think coves, marshes, and creek mouths. These areas provide the weedy cover and ambush points that pike prefer. Early spring, just after ice-out (if any), and late fall are the best times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water. A key to success is using larger lures that mimic the size of the baitfish pike are preying on. Spoons, large spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all good choices. Wire leaders are essential to prevent bite-offs. Access can be gained from various boat launches along the Hudson, but be aware of tidal fluctuations and current. Pike in the Hudson can be surprisingly large, so be prepared for a good fight!
