Fishing Report Week Ending 5/24/09 First two charters for the season took place this week. It was a bit earlier than I usually run trips but, after some preliminary fishing over the last week or so I was confident I could get people into fish. Both days turned out to be successes. On Thursday, I went out with Lee, Jeff and Dick for a 4 hour trip. The temps were around 90 degrees but with the breeze blowing were comfortable. Actually, Jeff just up from Florida thought it was a little cold, Ha!!. We landed about a dozen stripers with two over the legal 28" mark. Both keepers were returned to the water unharmed. On Saturday, Nat Peter, and Ted went out for a 4 hour trip. What a temperature difference over 2 days. I don't think it ever got over 60 degrees, and with overcast skies it was cold. The fishing was better, it took a while to find em, but once we did we landed about 2 dozen with 1 over 28". On a few occasions we had more than one fish on at a time. It looks like the striped bass fishing in NH is fully underway and I am looking forward to many more successful trips. Tight Lines, Capt. Joel
