Fishing Report May, 19 2005

The Stripers have made it to NH. Took out the new boat and decided to give fishing a serious try. Caught a number of fish up to 26” in about 2 hours on cut bait and circle hooks. All the fish were healthy and fought hard. Alewives are in the rivers as well so you can be sure the bigger fish are around. Didn’t see any surface activity but with the wind blowing that would not be unusual. With any luck the weather will get nicer soon and many more fishing trips will occur. The new Reel Ecstasy is a great fishing boat and with the addition of gull wings I was able to go out when the weather was less than ideal. Still adding rod holders and other finishing touches to make her a real fishing machine. Regards, Capt. Joel www.nhsaltwaterfishing.com
