Fishing Report week of 7/11/03 Great Striped Bass Fishing continues in NH. Our best trip of the week was on Tuesday where using live and cut bait we caught over 10 keepers and many smaller fish. There is an abundance of quality striped bass in the Piscataqua River and Seacoast areas. Mackerel and Pollock are abundant for bait at the Isle of Shoals and some of the surrounding humps. The Mackerel have been hard to catch and have frustrated many an angler this year. Try using a single small baited hook on light line or use Sabiki rigs below the Mackerel to catch Pollock, which don’t appear to be as leader shy. Blue fish are starting to make an appearance at the Isle, and offshore locations. While fishing for live bait always keep a bait or two out for roaming Stripers and Bluefish. Good Fishing, Capt. Joel
