Brother from Boise, ID wants to catch fish next week - HELP!!!

[Jim H]

Here's my situation......My brother, Jeff, (who is a H-U-G-E hunter and fisherman) is visiting from Idaho next week. This guy is used to duck hunting in Argentina, Mexico, Stuggart,LA......nothing but the best.

Anyways, he is coming here to F-I-S-H and I am his guide for the week! I plan on taking the boat (18' aluminum dual console) to the Merrimack River and off of Plum Island, if the seas are good. I also plan on going to Salem Harbor and/or Boston Harbor. I'd like to get him to catch some stripers and/or blues......OF COURSE stripers would be 1st on the list!

I have not been out fishing for the last two weeks (boo-hoo), so I'd like to know your ideas on places and techniques to GUARANTEE that Little Bro' catches some fish. (Sounds like one of those Banjo Minnow info-mercials....). I'd be willing to drive as far south as the South Shore and as far north as Kittery.

Thanks for any help - I want Jeff to have a great time. I'll also follow up with reports on how we do (with pics from my new digital camera!)
I am used to this 'guide' business....here's a photo of Dad and Uncle Al fishing in the mouth of the Merrimack!
