As we've been saying for the last month or so the 2012 spring run on the Hudson River will begin about two weeks ahead of schedule.
Almost no winter to speak of and high spring Temp.Have brought the bait (herring) into the area and also some bass.
The fish we've been seeing although not in great numbers yet, are in 15 to 18 Lbs.Some on bait but the larger fish on deep running plugs. It's only going to get better

Fishing both commercially and as a charter boat captain. Since 1995 he has fished in the sportfishing category exclusively, using the vast knowledge gained through many years experience on the water to provide a memorable day's experience for many people aboard his charters.
