Trip Summary

Early morning striper action in Salem Sound this weekend produced plenty of keepers and plus sized fish for all. The bass were chasing bunker all over but if you were patient and worked the bait pile, you'd be rewarded. We found mackerel outside Bakers Island for bait and had no trouble hooking up. The key to success is be there early because the fish move on to deeper water as the sun rises higher in the sky. Book now!

Huge pods of peanut bunker have made their way out of the estuaries into the bay causing wild surface feeds! This week should include fireworks on the water and in the sky. Happy 250th America!

Excellent fishing conditions this past weekend! Friday 6/19 saw huge surface feeds in Salem Sound in the early morning hours. Saturday 6/20 all the action was inside Salem harbor. With the high winds we grabbed a mooring and landed a few slobs while having to fend off the seagulls. Sunday 6/21 was the complete opposite of the previous two days. We had to go east of Saturday Night ledge to find bait and work the islands to find bass. All in all a great weekend with beautiful weather all three days.
