Portsmouth Fishing Reports

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.

Brian caught a few pollack and we also got some mackerel in the river for bait. We also had live eels. We worked the area with live bait fishing and to target striped bass. Mom landed a fat 31-inch striper, which they kept to grill tonight. Wrapped up this trip with smiles all around and a keeper-sized bass in the cooler.

Decent bite and happy crew! Summer fishing in Portsmouth NH was in full swing as I took Jim and his two teenage sons out for a day of inshore action with Fish Taco. they were avid feeshwater bass ans trout fishermen but never got a strioed bass in rbe ocean. We launched from Portsmouth Marina into Little Bay under partly cloudy skies, perfect conditions for targeting striped bass. The early morning start gave us a prime opportunity to get mackerel 6 at a time in the Sabiki rigs snd fill hontbe live well.

With our gear rigged and ready, we set out up the Piscataqua river to find the stripers. ss live lines the mackerel as bait. The highlight of our trip was when son William landed a solid string 28 inch striper - a great catch that put up an impressive fight on our light tackle. We kept at it, working different spots around Little Bay and adjusting our tactics based on where we were marking fish. The partly cloudy weather held steady, giving us comfortable conditions to fish all morning.

Our 5-hour charter flew by as we focused on the bite. While we didn't land monster numbers, the expressiin on William's face when he landed his biggest fish ever made for a memorable outing. Jim and Charlie got a couple good bites but didnt land their fish. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, heading back to Portsmouth Marina with some good fish stories to tell.

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. With a serious bend in the rod it looked like it would too 30 or more inches but it shook the hook when it reached the boat. Charles had a good bite in chunk mackerel but missed the hook set. These were fwo fun and enthusiastic fishermen. Charles said he will be booking s trip in a few weeks tomlearn how to flyfish for stripers. I welcome him back.
