[#ff0000]I will try this in the Hudson River on real Strippers during the spring spawning run. I know right where to try it , just north of USMA West Point the river depth is approx 140 ft and they say the Strippers come in so thick that fish finders will show a depth of about 30 ft. This should be interesting!!! Currents will be to strong for a tube but I'll rent a kayak from the outfitters up in Cold Spring.

The area between Storm King and village of Highlands is West Point, they actually floated a chain across the Hudson to Constitution Island during the Revolutionary War to keep British ships from getting up to Albany to resupply the forts up there. Links of the chain are still on display. A lot of history in my little portion of the Hudson [
]
Of course I could try off of Iona Island by Bear Mountain Bridge where the extreme narrowing of the river occurs, the current isn't so strong there.
