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.

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.

I went with my teenage daughter and 12 year old son and we had so much fun. (And we caught a lot of fish!!) Captain Paul was super knowledgeable and helpful because we had no clue what we were doing. We would definitely go back and recommend to others!!
