Hi there Dan am a hudson fisherman as well and have been watching your striper videos for 2 years now and i have to say you and your son sir, are the most impressive striper fisherman i"ve seen in person or content creator. Chasing these puppies is not easy in general and we all know the hudson comes with all its own challenges. Thank you for the videos. Would love to fish with you guys and learn some tips from real pros one day.
Dan thanks for the video... This video brings back such awesome memories from my childhood of my Grandfather and I scapping in the Hudson for herring (every spring) down in the City of Poughkeepsie where the Fallkill Creek dumps into the Hudson (just below the Walkway Over the Hudson)...
Dan Wheeler / yes I know but you never know maybe good lord willing I’ll take a road trip and see you along the Hudson River some day. I’ve actually been looking for property along the bluestone mountains but any plans like that are on hold until we get beyond this pandemic! Stay safe and God bless you and your loved ones!!!
hey Bruce I just wanted to thankyou you watch my vids and always make a positive remark it inspires us tubers to keep going most people dont have any idea how much time and work go into this so again thanks
Great video and thanks for sharing! Just wondering when it’s the best season, April? Is end of May too late? Where is the “secret” spot at Hudson, if you don’t mind?
@Dan Wheeler - Can You Please recommend a location along or at the hudson. My cousin and I are new to the hobby and have gone fishing twice and came home pretty upset. Huge thanks in advance!
awesome video, trying to fish the Hudson my first time this year. So far no luck with blood worms.Im fishing the lower Hudson part, Trying to find a bait shop that sells herring is definitely the most difficult part. I might try using bunker soon, but I know they aren't as good as herring/bloodworms
When I was about 6 or so, My step grandfather used to take the family to the family summer home in Salem Wisconsin to Paddock lake and show me how to fish, with him, something just him and I would do, I was too little and didn't like putting the worm on the hook so He would bait the hook and let me cast, he showed me how, and when we got a fish, He would take it off the line for me.. Caught a lot of perch... Great tasting fish BUT very bony..Good memories... that was some 56 yrs ago....
afraid not they are giving out tickets on the tracks right now because of the lady that got hit last week by a train we dont have a spot to fish now either
@@danwheeler5130 Sounds strange for me. Usually law protects the little ones, when you must release the fishes under the formal length, for example under 7 inches. That's due to the reproduction reasons.
it is mind blowing to see how you lure herrings in the nest! Crazy talented!
hey Dan thank you for great info I had a blast watching almost nothing better then fishing
I agree and it's great time spent with my son

SALUDOS DAN FROM CLIFTON N.J. HAVE FUN .
I loved using Herring when we were allowed to here in NC. It is the best bait for those larger fish.
Great video
Nicely done
Thank you for sharing
Wow... amazing
Hudson river has some big stripers. Caught a few out of Kingston. Now waiting for them off NH coast. Fish them with live mackerel. Good luck!
I really like the variety you give us Dan, I’d love to fish with you someday!

Cool, I thought you were going after shark with the size bait, nice day for son and pop time, thanks for sharing.
yea bruce that's why we dont catch little ones what we catch is usually between 30 and 40 inches sometimes bigger
hey Bruce I just wanted to thankyou you watch my vids and always make a positive remark it inspires us tubers to keep going most people dont have any idea how much time and work go into this so again thanks

Great video and thanks for sharing! Just wondering when it’s the best season, April? Is end of May too late? Where is the “secret” spot at Hudson, if you don’t mind?
middle of april to middle of may where we are ,any place with deeper waternear shore
@Dan Wheeler - Can You Please recommend a location along or at the hudson. My cousin and I are new to the hobby and have gone fishing twice and came home pretty upset.
Huge thanks in advance!
Blueback herring & alewife are banned to use here in NJ. Wish we could use them they worked great!! I thought they were banned in NY also.

get a scap net catch your own bait it's half the fun
@@danwheeler5130 thanks maybe i’ll give it a shot.
go for it it's alot of fun
Great video. What brand and size is the net you used to bring in the striper?
i dont remember and it's tucked away till the season lol
We use hickory shad or bunker live bait here in Thames River in CT.
What’s a good spot in CT
I grew up fishing the river up on the Bronx. Are the herring in the river all year? This is so cool I wish i saw it sooner.
no just a spring run
Hey dan i have a question where is this place so i can go and fish cuz i live near the Hudson River
nice rig dan !!! are those stripers good eatin ?
yes but they are restricted now to just small ones and we dont catch small ones lol bait to big
Hi am in CT l want to try spring striper fishing this spring any hot spot?

I enjoy fishing but I do it as much to spend time with my youngest son
Nice video. I have been trying to find a spot to fish in the Hudson, can you help me out
afraid not they are giving out tickets on the tracks right now because of the lady that got hit last week by a train we dont have a spot to fish now either
@@danwheeler5130 wow hope she okay
Can you do a catch clean and cook
Where on the river were you guys ? Can you scap for herring anywhere ?
just below hudson and you can scap only in the river not the cricks coming into river
Where can I buy the net? Thanks
Tivoli/Germantown?
Do you ever have problems with the braid cutting into the sinker slider? If so, let me know and I'll send you some braid proof ones.
i haven't noticed that problem
yeah the white ones and the black ones the braid will chew a channel in the plastic after awhile.
can you do a catch clean and cook
season over for the year
can you eat Stripers in the hudson?
yes just cutout the red meat
@@danwheeler5130 thanks
Got your scapping set from John in Poughkeepsie I see...lol.
i did yes and i love it
Why did you release that fish? It looked ok to eat. Is it something about the laws?
to big law wont let you keep one that big
@@danwheeler5130 Sounds strange for me. Usually law protects the little ones, when you must release the fishes under the formal length, for example under 7 inches. That's due to the reproduction reasons.
@@user-xt4tw4bb7v stripers taste like shit.. c&r too..
No circle hook. I thought that was a legal requirement.
Of course you could always eat the herring, if you can't keep the stripers? Make a nice breakfast kipper.
The railroad doesn't give you grief, hanging out near the tracks like that?
no they haven't
That address is passed to leave the car
Spot????if you don’t mind
near german town
It might not be a popular view but here goes. The ethics of using live bait doesn't sit right with me as it prolongs suffering. Sermon over.
I get that
