Striped Bass Move into NH
May 15, 2003
Stripers have moved into the New Hampshire Seacoast and Rivers.
With the cold winter, and not so perfect spring it seems like it has taken forever for the Striped Bass to move up to NH. Well they have finally arrived. Schoolie sized fish are being caught and that means the larger fish are only a week or two away. Casting jigs and spoons we caught a few fish in the typical early season spots. Fish in areas where the water temps are a few degrees warmer than surrounding locations. Using lighter tackle and small lures will add to your success.
It only gets better from here, and we have at least 4 months of great Striper fishing ahead.
Fishing for Striped Bass for 1 to 4 anglers, from June 1 through Sept. 30. We use light tackle and fish inshore or near shore where there is never a chance of getting seasick. Guaranteed to catch fish! 4 hour/6 hour/8 hour trips available
