First trips of the 2010 Season On Friday May 28, I had the first Striped Bass Charter of the season, followed by another trip on Saturday. On both trips we caught stripers although less than I would have liked. We caught 8 or so fish on each trip and at least one over 28" (NH Keeper size) each day. A number of fish were real close to 28 inches, and poor Joe, on Saturday had two that were within ½ inch of legal. Unfortunately this isn't hand grenades or horse shoes and almost isn't good enough to keep. There are plenty of baits moving into the river now, including herring, mackerel, and silver sides. This and the warmer water temps will hopefully bring many more fish into the river quickly. The temps have been perfect for great times on the water and I have a number of midweek dates currently available. Tight Lines Capt. Joel.
