OPENING @ 6 AM SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7TH

With the wind starting to ramp up and the rain that is headed out way I’ve decided to sleep in for an extra hour tomorrow am! The ocean is starting to get churned up and the seaweed that will inevitably start moving in so I’ll see some of you at 6!

But mid week Ray Gallagher came in and got some bait and headed out to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge to do a bit of fishing.  He sent us this picture of a 31″ striper he got at lot 1. One happy camper!!! There have been many reports this week of a lot of fish in the 24″ – 31″ range. Most have been gobbling up sea worms and clams. This week we saw some beautiful days and a lot of people fishing the refuge so hopefully Sunday when the sun comes out we can get back to it! It may take a few days for things to calm down for bait fishing but for those of you that like to fish lures………….the time has come!

RAY GALLAGHER            31″

    Why has the time come for fishing with lures? Is it because there will be some rough surf around? I am not sure what one looks to to determine when lures from the shore or jetties is likely to be most productive.

      A lure is a lure.
      Cast retrieve.
      Trial and error.
      Find what works for you.

    Bait or lures, really makes no difference. Fishing this area continues to be a down bound train! The striped bass population has declined steadily over the last five years here. Looking for new places to go!

    I don’t know about a down bound train. I had some pretty good days this year, more back in May and June. But looking forward to Sept and October, The expression: No fish is good fishing, one fish is great fishing. John you out there?

    You must live in the area and not have to spend your hard earned money to come and fish. But it is people like me that feed the entire local community business. If the reports and help can’t be more honest and helpful from the tackle shops, and on the water magazine that’s all you will have is a local population to live off. Let’s face it, those that are in the tackle, media, or local business organizations are never want to participate in an honest discussion of the problem.

      No kidding, I’ve been fishing the area for the past 12 years and the number and size of the bass has declined each year. No rocket science. The reports just should be more fact based and honest.
