Drove up to my parents in upstate NY. Drove through Troy and saw allot of boat traffic on the Hudson, I assume were targetting stripers. Also noticed a white bucket brigade across the river on a concrete wall...

That was probably just Nebe looking for squid :rotflmao:

Could easily have been, maybe shad, white perch? I was down in New York last week, lower Manhattan and I didn't see a thing.

Yea it could have been. It's that time of the year.
The water is still very high out this way. I can't get to my, "this time of the year" spot.:crying:

The herring runs pulls the holdover big girls all the way up this time of yr.They get some big ones..White buckets could have been liveliners.

Drove accross the Tappan Zee Bridge yesterday, there was a big fleet in Haveastraw bay, undoubtedly targeting stripers.

Always worth checking the other side too, the old East River has a lot of great water worth covering

i have hooked some ferocious 30+ lbers as far as the battery park seawall/ferry landing (southern edge of Manhattan) and have watched birds diving on blitzes as far north as Newburgh.

incredible blitz fishing, second only to Montauk in Oct.
