Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Piermont, NY, centers primarily on the rocky shorelines and deeper channels of the Hudson River. The area around the Tappan Zee Bridge, with its pilings and diverse structure, is a known hotspot. Smallies thrive in the current and rocky habitat. The best times are late spring through early fall, when the water warms up and the bass are actively feeding. Look for areas with current breaks, rock piles, and drop-offs. A valuable tip is to use a fish finder to locate submerged structure and target those areas with drop-shot rigs or crankbaits. Also, be aware of the strong currents in the Hudson River, especially during tidal changes, and adjust your presentation accordingly. The smallmouth bass in this section of the Hudson are known for their fighting ability, and fish in the 2-4 pound range are common. Consider launching from one of the public boat ramps in the area for best access to the prime fishing spots.
