Portsmouth - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing report week ending 7/17/2011
Middle of the week was best this week. Took long time customers Dave and
Bruce out for a 6 hour trip on Thursday. Macs were easy to get and we were
rewarded with 9 keepers, only keeping our limit. The amazing thing about this
trip was Bruce out fished Dave. This was certainly a first as Dave can catch fish
before most have even gotten a line in the water. That is how it goes sometimes.
Big fish of the week was on Wed. when 13yr old Andrew got a 35" on cut bait
that we released for another day. His brother Mark 14 yrs old hooked a 31"
within a minute of us landing Andrew's fish. Nice job guys.
Most other days of the week went well although Saturday's 4 hour trip with some very young fisherman went a lot slowerthen I wanted. We only got 4 fish in 4 hours and none big enough for dinner that night. At least we got a few and the older brother Ro who was 7 had a good time.
Oh well I really tried.
Tight lines,
Capt. Joel
