Striped Bass Report

August 2, 2008
Portsmouth - Saltwater Fishing Report
After last weeks rain storms the water was a muddy brown. The fish
were still around but they must have been finding our bait by smell cause
they certainly couldn't see anything. This week the water started to clear up
and for the most part fishing improved. We caught our share of striped bass on each
trip, and caught 2 blue fish for the week as well as 4 or 5 sea bass. Bluefish are
common in this area although I have heard of very few being caught so far this season. Sea Bass on the other hand are rare in NH waters although common
south of the cape as well as NY and NJ where party boats actually target them.
Had a lot of fun trips, these past few weeks, including people from Oklahoma, NJ, Connecticut, Massachusetts, NY as well as many local NH residents.
Saturday was a great trip with a regular Dave, his daughter and her boyfriend, and for
the first time Dave's wife came along. She was sure she would get seasick and
break my long standing; no one gets seasick on board, rule. Well of course, she didn't
get sick and was able to spend some quality time with her family and caught a bunch
of fish as well. Dave caught a number of fish and his last fish of the day was a nice keeper size striped bass.
A number of storms were predicted for the week but as is usually the case, they didn't affect our trips at all, as they developed late in the day long after we were back at the dock.
