Portsmouth - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fishing Report Week Ending 8/21/04
This was the week for the largest number of Stripers caught per trip. On most days we caught upwards of 40 Stripers per trip with a few Bluefish mixed in. Most of the fish were in the 23-27 inch range,but, except for one trip we caught keeper size fish (over 28") on each outing. This week we also started to see Seals basking in the sun on the rocks around Little Bay. On Wednesdays afternoon trip, with Dwayne and Will (an actor from California) we caught 6 keepers with Dwayne's 36 incher coming over the side for the largest fish of the week. The morning trip with Jeff his 12 year old son Ian and 12 year old friend Ethan was also a great trip where we caught a few keepers as well as Ethans 31" Bluefish. Jeff and Ian did a Redfish trip down south earlier in the year and could not believe that we caught more fish in the first 15 minutes than they did in 6hours fishing for Reds. The Striper fishery in NH is really world class and the number of fish caught on each trip amazes even the most experienced anglers. On the light tackle we use, all of the fish put up a great fight and are a lot of fun to catch, but when we hook a big one it is a real blast.
Striper fishing will remain good in NH right through Sept. 30th. If you have not gone out yet, what are you waiting for?
