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.
