New Hampshire Weekend Fishing Report & Fishing Outlook for June 5

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department recently reported on New Hampshire’s fishing action throughout the state, including the coast. They also provided the fishing report and outlook for the coast as well.

Remember that Free Fishing Days are June 5 in most state, including New Hampshire. Get out and get those that don’t usually fish out there to experience the joy of fishing.

In the northern part of the state, the Department reports that the weather has been hot and so has the fishing in multiple stocked waterbodies in the North Country. Try your luck at Cedar Pond. Despite the August-like water levels, shaded brooks and spring-fed ponds remain productive. Check out some of your local beaver flowages. Beavers make lots of small pool habitats that brook trout  love.[mappress]

Party Boat Striped Bass

Striper fishing has become one of the most sought-after fish for anglers. Anglers catch many bass that are sometimes as large as 30, 40 or even 50 pounds, providing some of the most exciting fishing that you can find.
Those with their own boats can get in on this fast action, but those without boats must rely on the kindness of others or pay for a charter or head boat. Of the two, a head boat is less expensive. While a charter boat is less crowded, there is no reason why a head boat trip cannot be equally enjoyable.
Have Fun With Strangers on a Party Boat

Fishing on a head boat does require interaction with strangers. Following some basic rules will ensure that you fully enjoy your party boat experience. Continue reading Party Boat Striped Bass

Easter Action Still Cold For Northeast — Good Action Around The Corner

Easter fishing for the northeast promises to be good, but unfortunately, the water is still cold. In areas like New Hampshire, the recently opened landlocked salmon season promises good action. States like New York and Delaware have also seen their annual trout opener, and anglers can hit waters in Maryland and Virginia and many others so there is plenty of prime action in the freshwater.

For those fishing the salt up north, the water is still awfully chilly, but those fishing south of the Mason Dixon line, like off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts, are already seeing great action for striped bass and bluefish. More fish will be coming north soon as the waters warm.

Happy Easter; great spring fishing is upon us and it’s only getting better, so get out there and fish.

Catching Mackerel

You know that spring is here when the mackerel begin running along the East coast.  The spring mackerel run occurs before the return of the bluefish, weakfish, and the heart of the striper migration to East Coast waters. Anglers usually begin fishing for the mackerel in the Ocean City, Maryland area then run north to New Jersey, New York, New England and settle in Maine or north for the summer, depending on the season.

Commercial anglers have decimated the mackerel stocks, but organized anglers have once again worked to restore the stock with some success. While the mackerel are here, their numbers are still down. However, anglers can still catch good numbers of mackerel.

The Season Is A-Coming

The east coast is about to come alive with fishing. Spring’s first day is tomorrow, and the time has come to start getting ready for the season.

The fishing boards are starting to light up with action. New Jersey’s striper season is now open, and the Chesapeake is about to explode with trophy linesiders.

Folks, the fishing season is going to be here in a few short weeks.

Trout seasons are open in some southern states, and the season will be opening up north soon. So, it’s time to get your gear ready and get geared up.

You may want to try to hit some of the late winter/early spring outdoors shows as you can get great deals at the shows. Those shows also get you primed and psyched for fishing as well.

Be sure to change your line this year, go and get the tackle box/bag ready. If you wear waders, check them for leaks.

It’s here. Get psyched, and get out there early.

*I may try to speak at a couple of the late-season events. Keep your eyes on this blog to see what I’m doing. I’ll also put it on The Local Fisherman at www.thelocalfisherman.com.
