April 7th “The Great Hudson River
Striped Bass Fishery”
Captain John Matthews of Halfmoon Charters will
present a candid discussion of the Hudson River Striped
Bass fishery. Captain John will discuss the remarkable
story of the recovery of the Hudson River striped bass
population which was long ago devastated by pollution
and over-fishing. John has lived on or close to the shores
of the Hudson his entire life. He has past experience
working with commercial fishermen on the Hudson
and is currently a licensed captain and fishes both the
Hudson and the Sound for striped bass and other game
fish. John will share his experience as a technician for
Texas Instruments, who managed a striped bass tagging
and restocking program in the 1980’s and 1990’s. He
will also share tips on where, when and how to fish
for striped bass on the Hudson and will share tips and
techniques to improve your success. Even the most
experienced striped bass fishermen will surely learn
something from this insightful seminar. If you ever
wanted to learn how to catch a trophy striped bass, you
do not want to miss this opportunity to learn from one
of the best.
