Albany Yacht Club opens its striper season dockage reservation list on January 1st, and it's important to reserve your slip early, as they fill up quickly. During the spring months of April and May, anglers have the opportunity to fish for Striped Bass in the Hudson River while enjoying dockage at the club for a fixed fee. Each spring, large striped bass migrate from the ocean, traveling approximately 168 miles up the Hudson River to spawn, often stopping at the federal dam in Troy, NY. The fishing season for these impressive fish begins on April 1 and typically peaks at the end of April, continuing through Memorial Day. This seasonal event attracts many fishing enthusiasts eager to catch these magnificent fish.
