Portsmouth - Saltwater Fishing Report
End of the season
With the cold weather approaching and the fishing slowing down it appeared that Oct. 14th would be a good day to pull the Reel Ecstasy out of the water and get it ready for the winter months.
We had a great season though, and I thank all of my customers for the wonderful times we spent together.
Fishing was excellent this year from Mid May right through Sept. 30th.
Cold fronts and storms turned the fish off in Oct. and we went from a 30 fish day on Sept. 30 to a 3 fish day on Oct. 4th. The next few weekends the weather just wasn't good enough to go out and I decided it was time to call it quits for the year.
I still will do a little Freshwater Bass fishing on my little boat till the end of October which is usually a great time for smallmouth bass.
My wife and I have planned a few trips to Florida and Cozumel Mexico this winter so I can stay in shape for the 2003 season.
Don't forget to book your trips early this year as the weekends and Fridays book up quickly. Also, please keep in mind that the fishing is great throughout the entire period of May -Sept. 30th. July can be one of the best months for Striped Bass fishing on the Reel Ecstasy and the weather is usually perfect.
Have a great winter, see you next summer or on the ski slopes of Gunstock Mtn. where I will be a full time ski instructor again.
Best Regards, Capt. Joel.
