Lazy D & Me Charters offers private striped bass fishing charters on the Hudson River with Captain Daniel Lussier, a licensed captain with over 22 years of on-the-water experience. If you are looking to fish with someone who knows the Hudson River inside and out, Captain Dan delivers a focused, hands-on trip built around putting anglers on fish and making the day enjoyable from start to finish.

Striped bass fishing on the Hudson River is highly seasonal, with peak action typically running from April through May. Captain Dan plans trips around tide movement, water temperature, and bait activity to give guests the best possible opportunity during this short window. These guided striped bass fishing trips are well suited for beginners, families, and experienced anglers alike, with a calm approach and clear instruction throughout the day.

Trips are run aboard a 25-foot 1999 Baha Cruiser 250 Fisherman, powered by a Chevrolet 270hp engine and capable of cruising comfortably while maintaining a smooth, dry ride. The boat is clean, well maintained, and designed for safety and comfort, featuring an enclosed cabin and onboard toilet. Lazy D & Me Charters is fully U.S. Coast Guard certified, so guests can fish with confidence.

All tackle and gear are included. The boat is outfitted with light action Ugly Stik rods, Daiwa line counter reels, four Cannon electric downriggers, and modern Lowrance chartplotting and sonar electronics. Captain Dan enjoys helping anglers learn techniques, read conditions, and improve their skills while staying relaxed and unhurried on the water.

Hudson River trips do not require a fishing license, only free registration, making it easy for visitors to book and fish. In addition to Hudson River striped bass fishing charters, Captain Dan also offers seasonal trips on Lake Champlain, targeting lake trout and landlocked salmon from mid-June through September. A fishing license is required for Lake Champlain trips.

Whether you are planning a spring striped bass fishing charter on the Hudson River or a full-day lake trout trip on Lake Champlain, Lazy D & Me Charters provides a straightforward, professional experience built around local knowledge and consistent results.
