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 did a great job getting us on the bait fish which was fun. But inspite of the chill and the wind, he also got us into some striped bass which my husband was able to reel in.

Debbie thank you for the five star review and we are glad you caught bait fish and then had several striped bass hits and were able to go home with fresh striped bass fillets. Paul and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Thank you Nathan, Oakley, and Alan for booking your charter with us and being so passionate with your fishing and light hearted with your humor and allowing Paul and I to hone in on your ground fishing skills. In total we bagged 50 legal haddock and easily brought 100 legal and sub legal haddock onto the boat. You folks reached your limit and were very kind to share your catch with us. It was a very enjoyable trip and a most excellent day. Hope to see you in the future.

This was a great trip for anglers with varying experience levels. Started hitting like crazy at the end of the four hours yet the Captain let us run through our live bait and we caught two more fish in that window. Got some nice filets and some great memories.
