Striped Bass

Colin and his son, Ryker, did a great job in the river this morning.  Caught about 20 huge mackerel in the fog out a mile or so from the harbor. Then up the river for multiple bites, 1 28-inch, 2 31-inch, and one 38-inch striper boated and returned to the sea.

Big Fat 36-incher

Kaelob and Cameron started the day with a good catch of mackerel a couple miles off 2KR.  Then we headed up the river. The patrol boat at the Navy yard was more than vigilant and did not let us get close to where the fish were, so we went to another "secret spot" and Kaeleb actually saw a good sized striper follow and pull his mackerel twice (very clear water, about 8 feet deep).  He did not hook up. But soon after, Cameron's reel went off singing and he landed a beautiful, fat 36-inch Striper!  A beautiful day on the water.

Fishing with Blake from Maine.  (A great fisherman) Out to Sisters ledge to catch mackerel. Then on to the river where we hooked and boated a fish on every drift, one after another. Total of 6 hookups with 30 plus inch bass.  4 made it to the boat. Overall an amazing trip

Fishing is Hot!

Easy to get mackerel as bait a few miles from the harbor entrance. Then up the river to find stripers breaking the surface under the birds. A number of hookups and one 31-inch keeper made it a pretty good trip.

Three 31 inch and one 37 inch monster fish

Fishing was very hot in the river with lots of boats getting stripers.

Alexander, Masa, and I headed out early in the morning for our summer fishing trip around Portsmouth waters. Partly cloudy skies with thunderstorms possible made for interesting conditions, but Kittery waters were fishable. Perfect setup for our 8-Hour Fishing for Striped Bass Adventure with Fish Taco.
We tried getting mackerel with "the fleet" at 2KR buoy, but no one was catching. So we moved 5 miles offshore to a "secret spot" I have, and we nailed it! We caught mackerel and pollack a 6-Sabiki-string-at-a-time. We had a couple of dozen live bait in less than 20 minutes. So we came back to the river for live-line mackerel fishing on a couple of rocks I know. Alex barely got his bait in the water, and a beautiful 30-inch striper grabbed it and swam. Alex landed the keeper. I doubled back onto the same rock, and Masa got a similar 30-inch striper. We hadn't fished 15 minutes, and we had 2 keepers! That's a first. What a hoot landing those stripers! It was 95 degrees out (cooler on the ocean), so the guys wanted to stop for lunch. They had an all-day trip (8 hours). We had a great lunch on the dock at BG's boathouse and resumed fishing for a couple of hours. No further bite. Water heated up too much is my guess. But those guys went home with close to 10 pounds of fresh striper filets for dinner.
If you're thinking about getting out on Portsmouth waters for some serious striper action, our 8-Hour Fishing for Striped Bass Adventure is the ticket. I run these trips regularly through Fish Taco, and the fishing around Portsmouth stays consistent through the summer. We cover all the techniques - fly fishing, live bait, and lures - so you get the full experience. Whether you're new to striped bass fishing or have been at it for years, Portsmouth inshore fishing delivers. The 7-8 hour trips give us plenty of time to work different spots and techniques until we find what's biting. Kittery waters hold good numbers of fish, and with partly cloudy conditions being typical, we get great fishing weather most days. Book your Portsmouth striped bass charter and let's get you hooked up with some quality fish!

As the guide for Fish Taco, I always look forward to these trips - the summer months are prime time for striped bass fishing in these waters, and today's forecast of partly cloudy skies promised ideal conditions.We met our anglers, a father and son from Philly, at the marina at 6 AM and got them set up with their gear. I could tell they were eager to get out on the water and try their hand at landing a big striper. We wasted no time heading out and started working the shoreline, for mackerel. we got a half dozen. then it was up rhe river to use the macs as bait for stripers. It wasn't long before one of our guests, a young man named Foster, had a solid hookup. He fought that fish hard, and I could see the excitement on his face as he reeled in his first big striped bass - a 32-inch beauty! After a few quick photos, we carefully released the fish, already planning our next cast.As we headed back to the marina, our anglers were all smiles, excited about the fish they'd caught and the memories they'd made.

Water temp in low 40s on this trip. Generally too cold for a great bite, but Charles' son Nilos managed to get three great hits on a 9 inch white sluggo, and hooked one large striper.

Family Fishing Fun

Birthday present to Dad to fish for Stripers, but Mom caught the biggest one.

2 Day Family Fishing Trip on TACO

Hard fishing one day, 2nd day the "bite was ON".  Day 1, 4-6 ft breaking waves. No way to go out on ocean to get live bait without getting soaked, and it was cold and rainy, East wind.  We got 5+ takes but only landed one Keeper, which they took for dinner.  Our intrepid family fished on!  2nd day, everyone got fish, a number of keepers and our young boy guest caught 3 keeper-sized (28"-31") Stripers on super light tackle rod with a top-water plastic bait. What a hoot!

Big bait ball of pogies

<div>classic technique. we snagged pogies with a treble hook. then cut them in half and lowered them with a weight below the 100s of pogies and hooked a 38 inch striper wirhin 2 seconds.&nbsp;</div>

Just one keeper...but a good one!

Worked hard to get this nice fish. Went all the way 9 miles offshore to the Isles of Shoals (we heard there might be a bite going on there). But the Shoals had nothing going on.  Super quiet.  Mackerel were hard to find too. Only put 3 in the livewell.  But on returning to the river, we scouted out this nice 28" keeper who slammed a live mackerel right on top of the water in only about 5 feet depth. It was a hoot to see that fish chase down the mackerel, right on top.

in the 27-32 inch range, big shoulders, good fighting fish

Took an early morning scouting trip today at 5:30 in a pretty steady rain to see what's happening. Some bunker and baitfish in the river and backchannels, some terns diving on them, but only a couple top water striper schoolies to see.  Rosie the fish-sniffin' dog went crazy smellin' some baitfish oil slicks.  Didn't try to get mackerel so don't know about live bait.
