Fishing
Report for May 2, 2008
Reports from down south sound promising! Mackerel and large schools of
Bluefish reported in Long Island Sound and off the Cape. It's early for
blues, but reliable sources say they're headed our way.
Shad were taken in the Merrimack last week. Whales, schools of Herring and
Redfish are being reported by some of the offshore head boats. Schoolie
Stripers have shown up in the Piscataqua.
Recent observations at the Isles of Shoals show the surface water temp @ 47
Degrees F. The upper reaches of the Webhannet and Mousam Rivers hovering
around 50 Degrees. Last week I noted Terns actively feeding on small
baitfish out front of our boatyard and in the Saco River. Add it all up and
it appears we're off to a good start!!
Don't forget to stock up on your baitrigs. The lilacs are getting ready to
bloom and that means Mackerel fishing!
We have local
fishing reports online for the Maine coast from the Saco River
to Ogunquit, updated every week, from April to the end of
October. Please be sure to bookmark us and stop by often during
the season!
Did you know
that in 1670 Plymouth Colony established one of the first free
public schools in North America with the income from coastal
striped bass fishing? I wonder if that's where the term 'schoolies'
comes from?
Good fishing!
