Every year all the biggest fish are caught between
Kingston and Catskill. And if you didn't know it Saugerties
is right in the middle with the Esopus creek dumping millions of
gallons of oxygen rich mountain runoff into the river, which the
herring gravitate to. We can usually bank on a large number of
fish to be in our area for most of the season.
With close to twenty years of catching lots of big bass here I've got a
few tricks up my sleeve to keep the action going. By the second week of
April I am watching the Esopus creek for signs of herring arriving on a daily
basis. When they show up, ITS TIME! On an average year I'm into fish
by the 20th of the month Generally it just gets better as May arrives and is
steady through the month. So book a trip early to secure the best times .I don't
think you'll be disappointed fishin' aboard my boat.

Don't forget my "Promise
of Conservation" to the River:
10%
off the price of your trip if you choose to release a 30lb bass.
The river is
a fickle place in the spring. It is always a lot colder
on the water then it is on land, so dress appropriately. All tackle
and bait is provided, but if you have a favorite rod bring it!
Things to Bring: Warm clothes,
rain gear for the wind and rain, sunscreen and
hat. Polarized sunglasses and a camera are a
must!
