The fishing season starts during May with the arrival of Mackerel schools and lasts until Mid October as the fish migrate south for the winter. We are very fortunate to get large migratory schools of Striped Bass which arrive during late May and June and stay all summer. There is usually surface action during the summer months during the early mornings both in Portsmouth Harbor and along the rocky coast. The Striper fishery here is world class and great sport on the fly. Bluefish generally arrive during late June and stay until the end of September. Larger schools are on the surface during the months of August and September feeding on Peanut Bunker.This can be spectacular fishing and very visual on the 10 lbs plus Bluefish. We have had a run of Schoolie Bluefin Tuna which average 30-50 lbs with some fish over 100 lbs the past 3 years.
