Thumbs up for Eastmans
 
Eastmans fleet in NH...took my 14 year old for a day of pollack fishing a few weeks ago, it was a fantastic experience. Not just the fishing, which was terrific, but the whole experience was great.

Usually when I step off a party boat I think to myself, "I'm never, ever going on a party boat again", I wasn't thinking that this time.

Highly recommend.

Happy 2024 to all here!

theyve been crushing fish for months. its like old time pollock fishing. lock and load pollock fishing is tons of fun. i drove a fish truck in the late 80s and all winter long id be stacking totes of pollock to the ceiling.i found one washed up on the beach after a big storm, must have been 30 pounds. thing looked like an amberjack

100 years ago my father and his brothers caught pollock all winter.

I’ve used Eastmans a few times, they’ve always been solid.

agreed, had none of the aspects i usually hate about party boats. My son loved the whole experience, and we got pretty lucky with the fishing. They had an incredible december/january. Bonkers pollack fishing.

son wants
to try for reds and haddock this spring.

Try to get up there within the first two weeks of the season opener in April. Usually by later in May you are picking on smaller fish and dealing with more fares at the rail. April is great for size and fewer folks. The compromise is generally colder, rougher conditions.

It's great to hear positive reviews about a business :).
