Portsmouth - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fishing Report week ending July 20, 2003
Why run a charter fishing business? For me running a charter business is to see the smiles on the faces of the people I take out.
For many customers, it is the chance to take out a son or daughter on a low stress fishing experience where their child may catch the biggest fish of their life.
Most of this week was spent taking out fathers and sons for a fishing experience. Mike and Evan a couple of 11 year olds came with their Dads from Vt. to experience saltwater fishing. Andrew and his Dad had fished a lot on Winni but longed for some bigger fish and new experiences. Chris and his Dad had done a lot of fishing together and even tried for Stripers but never had any real luck. All of them allowed me to provide them with the memories of a lifetime.
My most memorable experience this week was taking out my Mom and Dad. They were up from Florida for a few days, and Dad at 81 remembers the days we fished together in Sheepshead Bay when I was young. His memory is no longer great but those days will stick in his mind forever. Mom, never did like the ocean, so we did real mellow trip fishing near Little Bay. After catching a bunch of fish, my Dad decided he had enough and curled up on the front deck to take a nap. Oh the memories, another successful fishing experience.
For each person, each family, the experience is different and requires a different approach that is what I hope to provide on my charter trips.
Take a kid or parent fishing, it provides memories that will last a lifetime.
The fishing continues to be consistent in the Piscataqua River and nearby areas. Small bluefish are starting to make their way into the river. Circle hooks not only help with catch and release but also sometimes make it possible to catch those toothy bluefish without wire line.
Good Fishing
Capt. Joel.
