Hi Guest nice to have you here. I like most others who fish the upper Hudson use herring or cut herring some time if you can catch a shad using stripes of the fish works well sometimes. Live herring is the best or eels. In the lower hudson blood worms are used alot and they also use surface plugs down there. Some guys try trolling lures for them but they burn more gas that they get fish. Charters will use live herring and drift, I use that method as well and have had good success with it. I like to fish the out going tides. I use circle hooks which holds the bait well/ I've got to run my smoked salmon is just about done. Chief
