Hey does anyone know how the fishing is in the Hudson river right now? I know that striper season ended in like june or something so what is out there that I can catch? I'm asking because I'd like to catch something bigger than what I am in the local ponds. The only equipment I have for bigger fish is a 7' uglystick that is medium action (10-25lbs) with braided 65lb line and 4/0 hooks. Will this work? I dont have a lot of money so I want to make due with what I have. What type of weight and bait will I need out there? I dont mind if its plastics lures or food items. What should I be expecting there?
