Seacoast New Hampshire Sportfishing

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 [...]

Looking forward to another season of trophy hunting!
New for this season is a 22′ Mako, powered by a Honda 4 stroke. Although an older hull, this “backup” boat will give us both “tuna-wishing” range and the ability to withstand a broader range of weather in comfort.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of my clients for the special memories this season. This is not a business for those looking to get rich, but rather to share the unique experience our Seacoast offers. As I look at photos from this season, the smiles are as important as the trophies.
I’ve [...]

Out with a bang, we think. The persistent NW winds have dropped the inshore temp to 50 degrees – down 11.5 degrees in one week. It has set the migration off quickly, and may precipitate a quick end ot our season. We’ll see.
If we’re done, way to go. Our morning trip – where I literally [...]

As fall paces forward – and end of season approaches, we’ve had a few chances to squeak in trips between fronts. Still catching!
Our two evening trips this week have been productive. Mackeral are thick at the Isles of Shoals, meaning we run longer to acquire bait, but spend less time gathering. We’ve also snagged some [...]

Every season is different. Last fall, it was almost guaranteed 40″ fish – on one trip three double headers of ‘em. So far this fall – WIND. This makes the FIFTH consecutive weekend of canceled charters due to adverse wind and seas. Understandably, most folks are now electing for weekend evening trips. so it’s small [...]

Frustrating. Prime time, and blown out again and again. But then we do sneak in a trip, and life is good again…
It has been a tough week [again], with multiple trips canceled due to high winds. More like Oct., but that’s fishing.
We did sneak in two trips amidst the blows this week, and experienced a [...]
