### Fish Activity
Striped bass are the main target in the Hudson River this time of year. Yesterday, anglers reported catching striped bass, particularly in the areas around the George Washington Bridge and further upriver. The fish are active during the changing tides, especially around structure like rocks and drop-offs.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Yesterday saw a decent catch of striped bass, with most fish falling within the new size limit of 23 to 28 inches. Anglers reported catching one to two keeper fish per trip, with some larger fish being released.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, the best lures include shads, metal lips, and jigs. Trolling with eels or Mojos has also been effective. Live or artificial bait like herring and sand eels are also recommended, as they mimic the natural prey that striped bass are feeding on.
### Hot Spots
- **George Washington Bridge**: This area is known for its strong currents and structure, making it a hotspot for striped bass.
- **Croton Point**: Located further upriver, this area offers good fishing grounds, especially during the changing tides.
Remember to adhere to the new regulations set by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which require that striped bass caught must be between 23 and 28 inches long, with a one fish bag limit. Enjoy your fishing trip on the Hudson River
