Hudson Valley Fishing

Fishing in the Hudson River is one of the best locations because there are several different types of fish and there are access points along the river. Catching a fish in the Hudson is not a guarantee, but it’s a good bet that you can pull out a fish.

Live worms are the easiest and most reliable. Live worms can be found at many sporting goods stores, or you can dig your own worms.

If you don’t have access to worms, artificial baits are much easier. They don’t “die” if they’re left in the sun, they may stay on your hooks better, and you can easily place them in your pocket. The best bet is to head to the river or lake with a jar of artificial nightcrawlers and a pack of catfish bait.

Be rkley Gulp! Artificial Nightcrawlers are the easiest and most effective artificial bait. They stay on your hook, and you can wrap an entire worm around your hook multiple times for big fish, or just use a piece of the artificial worm for smaller fish.

Berkley Catfish Bait is extremely effective for catfish. This bait stays on your hook reasonably well, and conveniently fits in your pocket or tackle box. Carrying catfish bait with your artificial worms gives you a combination for different types of fish that will make your fishing trips much more successful.
