August 20th fishing report. WOW what a weird week. Started off the beginning of the week with a 6 hour 100+ fish trip. Nothing real big but we did manage one "just over keeper" in the mix. It was non stop action for most of the trip and I didn't even fish much (I only hooked 5) as I was too busy. Every day the numbers of fish declined from there. On Friday on a 4 hour trip we probably caught only 30 or so but we had 3 keepers with the largest going 35". Saturday was the real weird day. It was slow, real slow. The fish were around but just not eating. Every time we would move to a new spot we would catch a couple and that would be it. Probably only got a dozen fish, certainly the slowest trip of the season. Decided to fish in Maine a little, as at this point I just wanted to get us into some fish. Explained to my group that Maine's size limit was different then NH's and therefore even if we got one over 28" we would not be able to keep it (didn't get into the over 40" trophy you could keep in Maine). Well as luck would have it our very first fish in the spot was a Whopping 41 inch beauty. Smiles were everywhere as I explained that as it was over 40" it was legal in both states and we could keep it. A slow day in numbers but the biggest fish we have caught so far this season.. Go Figure!!! Hopefully Sundays rain will get fishing back to normal. Tight lines. Capt. Joel
