Seacoast New Hampshire Sportfishing

We fished this week through a consistent pattern: avoid the times immediately after a hard westerly blow, wherein the coastal water temps dropped a lockjaw 7 degrees in a matter of hours on several occasions. In between, we continue to see consistent action. On those westerly days – tough fishing but Guarantees fulfilled nonetheless…
I had [...]

We’ve had pretty consistent weather this week, and with it a nice combo of access to tinker mackerel and hungry stripers. It’s made for a fun series of twilight trips, some with eeling blended in on the tail end. Things changed abruptly Friday nite, with a two day blow that dropped the water temps 8 [...]

I’m happy to report the tinker mackerel have re-appeared inshore, providing us our desired daytime bait. Fishing has been pretty steady, with a number of 30″ plus fish on most trips along with schoolies. This weekend’s frontal passage brought welcome relief from the heat, but also a big swell. We were surfing out there today, [...]

We continue to enjoy large numbers of schoolie fish, with the occasional biggie mixed in. Mackerel have become harder to get in recent days, but we’ve substituted pollock with no loss in action. The week ahead promises consistent weather, which should help us continue our string.
I’m fairly well booked, but happy to assist with finding [...]

Trophy season has officially begun….
While happily plinking away on schoolies yesterday, we doubled up on two truly large fish. One was broken off on an initial screaming run, while the other took us down to the reel arbor knot as I was frantically pulling anchor to chase. Chase we did, and after a great fight [...]

We continue to enjoy good action with mostly schoolie fish, but are starting to see the trophy size ones. I say see, because as these latest pics attest they are one heck of a fight in shallow water!
We’ll continue to feature evening or first light trips to capitalize on the strong mackerel presence. The [...]

More of the same – goodness. Had a fun evening with this father/son/uncle trio. Lots of fish, a couple of heartbreaks, and a vow to be back for more soon.
C’mon down!

LOTS of fish around now. Not yet trophy size, but lots of fun on the light tackle in shallow water.
We’re fishing tinker mackerel, and on a given day getting enough to last is the day’s challenge. Finding fish – easy…
I expect the average size to increase in coming weeks, and hope we can keep mackerel [...]

The fish are HERE!
Where to begin: school tuna 25 min. offshore, groaner cod less than that, or a full-on striper bite in tight. Lest you answer to hastily – remember the dire weather forecast for this past weekend, our liability insurance, and – oh yes – dependents expecting to see you home rather than read [...]

Every season is different, and this one is getting off to a curious start. The water temp broke 60 degrees on Memorial Day, bringing mackerel inshore in droves. We’ll be starting trips this weekend, weather permitting. The quandary is whether to target stripers or those school tuna that showed up last weekend, too!
My restored [...]
