Fishing Charters:

Stripers and Blues:

    We fish inshore along the rugged New Hampshire coast out to the Isle of Shoals, the mouth of the Hampton and Merrimack rivers and productive waters  of the Piscatuqua River.  Most striper and blues fishing is done with light, 20 lb. test spinning tackle with live bait, if available, or fresh chunk bait.  At times we’ll troll large plugs for blues along the cost.  Current New Hampshire regulations permit only 2 stripers over 28” per angler to be kept and 10 blue fish per angler with no size regulation.

Bottom Fishing for Cod, Haddock, Cusk, Wolf Fish:

    Bottom Fishing is done anywhere from 10-30 nautical miles offshore to the east edge of Jeffries Ledge.  Jeffries Ledge  is an underwater mountain range that runs from just off Gloucester well into the Gulf of Maine.  During the spring  and fall seasons, Jeffries Ledge is known for huge cod and haddock, usually caught on Norwegian jigs and fresh cut bait.  Cusk, pollock and wolf fish (what some anglers and gourmet restaurants consider a real delight) can be caught all year.

    During the summer months, the marine show really turns on.  Large numbers of marine mammals: whales, dolphins, Harbor Porpoises, Pilot Whales and huge Ocean Sunfish are often seen.

    Fishing charters to Jeffries Ledge are at least 8 hours long.  We also offer a 12 hour cod fishing marathon.  All tackle and bait is provided (Jigs not included) - feel free to use your own rod and tackle.  Please check out the Sunrise Rate and Information Page.
