NEW FOR 2008!

(Please check "fishing updates" at the bottom of this page & also the 2008 Fish Photo's page on the site)

The new "Summer Job" is a 23' Parker center console that has been fitted with a Custom T-Top, Radar and Outriggers! It will also have a Lowrance color GPS/ Chart Plotter and Fishfinder.

This will give my customers more room, a smoother ride and a better lure presentation for striped bass, bluefish or football tuna!

This is a photo of the New Summer Job, before its maiden voyage 4-23-08

 

The T-Top is completed,the outrigger "bases" are on and the outrigger "poles" have arrived and are rigged & ready. The radar is up and running and I keep finding more places to install more rod holders to complete the rigging process.

 

This is a very happy Captain!

Fishing Up Date!

9-12-08

 September is a great month! Cool mornings and warm days with bass & bluefish feeding up for their journey south. It is a little sad in that the season is ending soon, but exciting because we have to get the most out of every chance we get to fish!!! Yesterday (with 2 anglers) I had 12 striped bass, 1 at 33"s, and 23 bluefish in the boat! Not a bad way to spend a day and certainly not a bad memory to carry you through the long winter! I cannot grantee this every day but it is by no means unusual to boat at least 20 fish.

 Give me a call and I'll give you an honest assessment of the fishing. I'd much rather have a happy repeat customer than a one time, unhappy customer!!

August 3rd finally saw the mackerel leave for the safety of Maine waters from the BLUEFISH! We have had, and still have, some very good fishing for blues this month. The striped bass have also stayed around and we have had more "keepers" this August than most!

September's almost here and the excitement of the "fall migration" is just about on us. The herring are starting to drop out of the river systems and soon the peanut bunker will arrive.Then we will see our full out blitz's and the great surface action that most of us wait all year to enjoy! It is time to book a charter for this great action!

 

I'm leaving this past posting below for those new to the site to see.

Capt. Scott

 

June and July were very good months this year! In fact this was the best fishing since 2005! Any year I can "handle" over 1000 striped bass in 2 months is a very good year! Every bass is not a "keeper" but most were in the 24"-27" range. The 18" to 23" fish of past years have grown up! I also had more "legal & better" bass in the boat since 2005!

Now we have to see what will happen in August! Usually we have lots of bluefish and fewer bass but I have not had a bluefish in the boat yet this year! Could this mean striper's all summer? Keep checking the web site or email me for up to date info!

We are having very good days on the Merrimack River!! It's been a challenging summer for many and a charter is much cheaper than owning a boat! Come fish on the Summer Job!
