In The Episode

OTW’s Matt Haeffner and Nick Cancelliere recount with Jimmy Fee about their trip to the Hudson River with Captain Chris Oliver of Keepin’ It Reel Sportfishing out of Poughkeepsie, New York.

The trip rapidly turned from a bait-fishing trip into a glide bait adventure as the striped bass had no problems attacking their lures once the water temperature passed 60 degrees.
