NEW HAMPSHIRE HERRING RUN, IT's ON!

May 1st, 2008

Here we are, May 1st, and the Alewives (River Herring) have begun their Spring run up into New Hampshire's rivers to spawn in the freshwater. Word has it that several rivers are doing very well, and seeing an increase in the amount of Alewives going through fish ladders. This is great news all around.

The Striped Bass will be right on their tails! Striper fishing in the New Hampshire seacoast area should start to pick up this week. For up to date info on the N.H. Herring Run, click the link below to read a report on this, provided by a member of our forum...

the roc beats "number 9"

August 18th, 2007

Yes, you read right. Local fishermen and friend "Roccus" Joe B., fondly referred to as "The King of Eels" in our local circle, fought and landed his 9th 50+ pound striped bass. It fell to what else of course?....a LIVE EEL!

"15 lb test in a pumping sea, twas a little hairy... about 15-20 minutes, what a bitch getting it in the net... didn't fit too good...after I motor back to the bar, next cast... the 47, my hand was cramping and going to sleep...."

Words from a man who battled a 50+ pound Plum Island striped bass, among others in the 30+ and 40+ pound class in the same night. Joe has proved time and time again that live eels at night are the primo presentation for BIG stripers. And after his battles with the brutes, he releases these fish back in to their water in hopes that they will live on and grow even larger! So for that, we thank Joe tremendously for not participating in the "kill for bragging rights" tournaments that are held locally. These fish have the potential to one day be record breakers.

So big time congratulations to Roccus on "#9". Joe has not only been a great mentor to myself over the past few years, but a great friend, and a great inspiration to those around him.

One thing is for sure, when Roc gets into a tussle with a big, bully striped bass, he wins. And that means we all win, by them being released instead of put up on some leaderboard, you and I might someday have a shot at such a beautiful fish and the memories that follow......

Roc, thanks from all of us!
