Report:
Fishing Report week ending 7/24/04 Striper activity continues to be great with catches each day between 20-40 fish. Blues have moved into the river as well and each day we hook up on a few in the 3-8lb range. Blues are great fighters on light tackle and will hit like a freight train and jump clear out of the water on light tackle. In order to bring them to the boat wire leader is necessary as these toothy critters will bite through mono line. Most days have produced keeper stripers in the 28-32 inch range, with a number of fish just under the NH legal limit caught each day. Rain or Sun, incoming or outgoing tides doesn't matter, the fish are here. Best catch of the week 14 year old Courtney's sunglasses. She leaned over and off they went, quick action on my part and I snagged them with my rod as they were descending to the bottom. Now that is some great fishing.. Tight lines. Capt.
