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.

4 Hour Inshore (5am) $500

Capt. Paul was a great kid and very experienced.He didn’t mind our inexperience! Within minutes of getting to our first spot we filled the bait tank with mackerel which we pulled up 5 at a time! A quick ride to the next spot put us right on the Stripers and with his help got our limit and had a great fish dinner that night on the grill!!!!!

Michael thank you for your five star review and we are glad you had a good luck day of fishing for striped bass. Your positive and upbeat attitude of whether or not you caught fish was heartfelt and very much appreciated. Any day out on the boat is a good day. Glad the fish were cooperating.

Paul and Dan were great! Super knowledgeable, quick to put us on the bait fish then head for larger bass. Our boat was so popular all the other anglers kept following us! We were able to land one huge bass and my little guy was able to have fun reeling in another before he broke off the line. It was a great day on the water.

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.

Our inaugural fishing charter was an absolute success, and we are thoroughly enthralled. Captains Tim and Paul are exceptional, exhibiting great rapport with our teenagers and providing a delightful experience. I highly recommend City Hawk Charters.

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.
