Today's Tide Times in Hudson
Today in Hudson, high tide arrives at 5:15 AM (3.5 ft) and again at 5:18 PM (4.2 ft), and low tide bottoms out at 11:20 AM (0.8 ft). That's a 3.4-foot swing — a gentle neap-cycle swing, so focus on dawn and dusk rather than mid-tide current.

Tomorrow starts with a low tide at 12:10 AM (0.5 ft) — see the 7-day outlook below to plan the week.

What's Biting at Hudson
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current NYSDEC saltwater regulations before keeping any fish.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
