This could happen to you. Striped bass fishing on the Hudson River in May 2022.
Still a few open dates available.
Call now to book your trip.

Simply the best.

Probably my last time out for stripers. Everything considered I had a good season. 262 fish pretty much alone. Learned a lot and got to enjoy the beauty of the Hudson River. Today’s swan song. Tough to photograph fish when you’re solo so scenery must suffice.

As if 4/15/2020. Newburgh ramp is closed. Striped Bass 1 fishermen 0.

On my way today to do a presentation for the Hudson River Fishermans Association. I’ve been preparing for several weeks. Hoping it goes well.

So three years ago Kiewit hired me to take two engineers out on the Hudson to find a suitable spot to deliver and store these pipes somewhere in the Newburgh area. We spent two days surveying and sounding different ares of the Hudson.
The pipes were to arrive by tug and barge and needed to be offloaded and stored for a long period of time then later transported by land to a site north of Newburgh.
This is the spot they later decided upon.
I feel somewhat connected to this project albeit in a very minute way.
An incredible and fascinating project to say the least.

Delaware Aqueduct project, connecting Wappinger, Newburgh under Hudson, installs pipe The pipes will reinforce 9,200 feet of the tunnel’s 13,200 feet to ensure the problematic limestone formations below the river bed don’t erode it.

All cleaned up and ready for bed.

Ready to go and mission accomplished. Got the boat in after several days of preparation.
Let the games begin.
