No Matter the Time of Day or Tide

Jul 5, 2025 Salem

People ask what is the best time of day to fish for striped bass? I tell them any time of day and on any tide whether it be high or low. Some days the fish are biting and some days they are not. That’s why it is called fishing.

captain Paul was friendly and competent. Despite being complete novices my daughter, wife and I caught 40 mackerel and then I caught a large striper towards the end of the season. Great communication leading up to the event. And what a sunset.

We went out for a quick 4-hour trip with Captain Paul at the end of August. My kids had a blast and we caught two of the biggest stripers I’ve ever seen. Wish we had done a full day. This was the perfect end-of-summer trip. We will absolutely be back.

Deanna thank your for your five star review. We are glad it was such a fun experience and that the fish were so cooperative. Very happy that both teens each had the unique experience of holding a rod when a striped bass hit and then brought them in alongside the boat to be netted. And both fish were slot size. One at 30 3/8” and the other at 28 1/4”. Here Fishy Fishy!!!

Excellent work organized by Captain Paule, it was an extraordinary day of fishing. And where, despite the inclement weather in the morning, he knows all about his work, I highly recommend that people hire charters for a good day of fishing.
