[font "Arial"]Fishing report May 27, 2003[/font]
[font "Arial"] [/font]
[font "Arial"]Looked like we were finally going to get a break in the weather, on Tuesday so I decided it was time to venture out. I was surprised that there was no surface activity as the sky was overcast when I got out around 10 A.M. [/font]
[font "Arial"]I spent some time casting spoons and light jigs and was rewarded with only 1 small schoolie. I decided to head to the mouth of the Piscataqua River as I had heard reports of Mackeral starting to show their presence. I did not find any fish, but only spent a short time jigging around 2KR as the fog started to roll in and I was really targeting stripers anyway. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Headed back up river, as the tide was starting to turn. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Started chunking herring as soon as the tide started to run out and was almost immediately rewarded with a nice Striper about 26”, In about 3 hours I caught and released 10 fish up to 27” and broke one off on a lobster trap that was even bigger. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Just as the fish started to turn on, the sun came out, a sight that had not been seen for a week or so. Just great, fishing on a sunny day in May. Spring as it was always supposed to be. [/font]
[font "Arial"]It only gets better from here on out. [/font]
[font "Arial"] [/font]
[font "Arial"]Good Fishing [/font]
