Fishing Report week ending July 28 Fishing in the Piscataqua River remains great. The larger fish have moved into the river and we averaged 4 keepers on each trip this week. Largest fish of the week was a 34" with a couple of others real close. We used both cut and live bait and had equal success with both methods. Tide did not seem to matter much either, as long as the current was running we were catching fish. Its been hard catching live bait near shore so I decided to head to the Isle of Shoals to find bait and check on the bluefish activity. Anchoring near the Isle in about 50 feet of water we quickly found that the Pollock and Mackerel were there. We had a contest to see how many we could bring up at once and with a double sabiki rig actually brought up 8 at one time. The Mackerel were large in size and we decided to take most of them home for dinners and to use the Pollock on future trips for Striper bait. We did see some party boats blue fishing but did not see any blues at all caught. My info tells me that they are around but very, very spotty. Toward the end of the week we had an added bonus as the Tall Ship Providence was docked at the Portsmouth Pier. It is a small boat only 110 feet long, but made for a nice side tour after great days of fishing. Good fishing.
