Striped Bass arrive in NH in 2009

New Hampshire Fishing Reports 2009 May 13, 2009 and the Striped Bass have arrived in NH. Put the boat in the water and went out for a trial run and a little early season fishing. Caught 6 stripers in a few hours, all between 24-30 inches in length. These were all recent arrivals and were healthy and feisty. This is the earliest I have ever caught a keeper striper (over 28") and really about the earliest I have even gone for them. I think this is a great sign and am hopeful this is the best year of striper fishing ever. Tight Lines, Capt. Joel.
