Week Ending 9/5/09 The last week has brought fantastic weather to the NH Seacoast. Cool mornings with warmer temps as the day progresses has made for some great fishing weather. The beginning of the last week of August had some slower days fishing, mainly due to the storms that were nearby dumping rain and causing extreme high tides in the river. By the middle of the week the fishing had returned to normal and this week (the first week of September) the fishing was much better. This week we saw most trips with 15-20 stripers and 1 or 2 seabass as well. I heard there were some bluefish in the river but all week we only had 1 or 2 bite offs. There has been little surface activity over the last 2 weeks but fishing the way we do, down a little deeper, continues to produce striped bass. Very few boats were out this past week and usually after Labor Day the boat traffic gets less and less. I do have a number of dates open in September and first week of Oct. if you would like to get a fishing trip in before the cold weather sets in give me a call or email. Tight lines, Capt. Joel
