Fishing Overview for Hudson River
Running along the Jersey City waterfront, the Hudson River draws consistent action for striped bass during spring and fall runs, plus summer bluefish, fluke (summer flounder), and schoolie weakfish; upriver influence brings occasional white perch and catfish in brackish pockets, and fast tides around

Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 10 wharf(s) in this area.
Main Street Wharf (historical) - 3.27597925543km , Cob Dock (historical) - 4.79083015645km , Ordnance Dock (historical) - 4.83538688199km , West 27th Street Dock (historical) - 6.38947499201km , North Wharf - 7.04666828397km , South Wharf - 7.16712884252km , West 42nd Street Dock (historical) - 7.60604443041km , American Dock Company Wharf (historical) - 7.68166323417km , Pier 83 - 7.68839502184km , 50th Street Dock (historical) - 8.17116986429km
Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 4 beaches and bays in this area.
Upper Bay - 3.33472387188km , Upper New York Bay - 3.79055658096km , Gowanus Bay - 3.90896175443km , Wallabout Bay - 4.53556004164km
Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 9 main harbours in this area.
