 HUDSON RIVER FISHING REPORT - May 21, 2025

Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your mid-week Hudson River fishing update.

The striped bass run is in full swing right now, with excellent action throughout the river. Those big females that were moving up from Raritan Bay in late April have now established themselves in the Hudson, and we're seeing a healthy mix of both spawned-out Chesapeake fish and our resident stripers[1][2]. The migration map shows concentrations from the harbor all the way up past Kingston, with particularly strong numbers around the Tappan Zee.

Tides today show a high at 10:23 AM with a second high at 10:47 PM. You'll want to hit that outgoing tide when those stripers get more aggressive. Sunrise was at 5:32 AM and sunset will be at 8:17 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work with. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temps around 72°F and a light southwest breeze at 5-8 mph - perfect fishing conditions!

Bunker schools have been thick throughout the system, and that's your key to finding the big girls. Most locals are reporting 20-30 pound class fish, with some monsters over 40 pounds being landed around the deeper channels. Silver sides and herring are also on the menu for these hungry bass[2].

Lure selection has been straightforward - those shallow-diving metal lips are absolutely crushing it during the falling tide, especially around mud flats with some sun on them[2]. Bunker spoons and swim shads in the 6-8 inch range have been productive in the deeper channels. For bait fishermen, fresh bunker chunks or live herring are your ticket to success.

Hot spots this week include the flats near Croton Point Park, where schoolie bass have been stacked up feeding on the abundant baitfish. The channel edges near Yonkers have been giving up some true trophies during the first two hours of the outgoing tide. If you're in the city proper, the structure around the GW Bridge has been holding quality fish, particularly on the New Jersey side near the piers.

Word from some of the regulars is that this 2025 season is shaping up to be one for the record books, with multiple age classes present throughout the system[4]. The podcast "Hudson River Daily Fishing Report" also mentioned exceptional activity this past week[5].

Don't forget your circle hooks if you're bait fishing - it's required for stripers! And remember to wet those hands before handling any fish you plan to release.

That's your report for today, May 21st. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and see you on the water!
