Striped Bass
Striped Bass fishing near Kattskill Bay, New York, presents a unique blend of saltwater and brackish water opportunities. Anglers can target stripers in the Hudson River estuary, where the mix of fresh and saltwater creates a rich feeding ground. Spring and fall are prime times, as stripers migrate up and down the river. Focus on areas with structure, such as bridge pilings, rock outcroppings, and channel edges. Live bait like bunker chunks or eels are always a good bet, but casting artificial lures like swimbaits or bucktails can also produce. A key local tip is to pay attention to the tide – stripers often feed aggressively during tide changes. Several boat ramps provide access to the river near Kattskill Bay, but be mindful of strong currents and boat traffic. The striped bass population here is known for its resilience, but adhering to catch-and-release practices helps ensure a healthy fishery for years to come.
