Every spring the Hudson River plays host to millions of spawning Striped Bass making it the second largest spawning ground on the East Coast. In May, as fish begin to migrate throughout the Northeast, the fishing grounds surrounding New York City become some of the most fertile anywhere. Help continue this positive trend by ensuring that this fishery and its environment will be better for generations to come. What better way to jump-start the spring than fishing for a good cause. Aside from drinks, dinner, raffles, prizes and guest star appearances, you might even catch the fish of a lifetime.
Pre registration is required.
After two unsuccessful weekend attempts the fish finally showed this past weekend. We found them in the usual spring spots in Jamaica Bay, and like last year, they are in pretty thick. Let me tell you, it s a pretty darn good feeling, when you see that first swirl and a flipping baitfish 20 feet in front of you, especially after four and a half months of abstinence. I m sure you all agree that there s nothing like striped bass. Those handsome lateral stripes, the iridescent purple and pink of a spring fish, and of course straining graphite.
