Portsmouth - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fishing has been consistent the last week or two for Reel Ecstasy. On average we get 20 fish on a 4 hour trip, 30 fish on a 6 hour trip and 40 fish on an 8 hour trip. This seems to me to be weird but within a fish or two it is how the last 10 trips or so has worked out. The action isn't always consistent throughout the trip but on each trip we will find one or two spots where we get a bunch and other spots where we will get only 1 or 2. Most fish are between 22" and 27"which is a lot of fun on the lighter tackle we use. On occasion a bigger fish comes to greet us.
It has been a lot of fun the last two weeks with a bunch of buddy trips, corporate trips, and birthday trips taking place. Its always fun when the new angler does as well or better than the seasoned pro, and stories of past fishing trips and experiences come out.
Oh Nora, I still have your picture (you had to be there).
General fishing report.
There are some bigger fish around, most being caught on live bait, but even those using live bait (not what we have been doing) are reporting spotty action, with fish being picked up and dropped quickly. Some fly fisherman have reported very poor activity of late and I know of at least one seasoned guide in Maine who has canceled trips due to lack of striper activity up North. Mackerel are still around and reports of some bluefish offshore as well, although I have seen none in the river.
