Was wondering if anyone ever catches keeper fluke in the dirty water areas or the Hudson river? I have seen guys pull in small ones but never a keeper.
It depends on how far back you go into those waters. If you are talking about the Hudson they do catch keeper fluke at the mouth. The further up you go the less the salinity is and I think the bigger ones are less likely to go up there. Bass and blues its a different story you can get them as far as the George washington and the bass go all the way up to spawn in the spring.
Some nicer fish starting to move up the hudson. Report from today, not mine.
36" sushi from the waters around the Big Apple with a little help from my friends Alan & Wayne, we enjoyed a gift of the sea. I also tip my hat to another Manhattan legionary fisherman Steve Sloan who help create a program in Central Park to introduce fishing to kids and owned over 40 world fishing records. May we all be blessed this holiday with "Peace to your families as well as this country"
Just a heads up that its on in the Hudson. As of last week my cousin and his friends were getting 20 pounders on bunker. About 2-5 a day where they were fishing. Anywhere from Englewood down to Brooklyn. Hope that is vague enough. If not please edit. Catch em up dudes!
Im catching at least 1 striped bass every morning. 10-23 lbs it varies with the bait. All on bunker heads. Also seeing herring and very small bait too. Small window of opportunity, when the sun comes up it's over.
Heads up guys I was up in the Hudson above the TZB for a few hours yesterday. The water is dirty but they are catching on bloods. Mostly small ones. Did see a 29 incher get landed.
