Striper Fishing from Canoe

[Bill-C]

dryflie,

Speaking from many trips on the Merrimack with a 24' boat I would advise against fishing the river with a canoe. Like JohnR said the tide screams in and out as do some of the 40' speed boats. I know up in NH there is the Piscataqua (Sp??) river, although that may be difficult at places there are some areas that are not too bad. What you may want to consider is Rye Harbor. If you are not familiar it is a small harbor that dumps right into the open ocean, it is a short row from the ramp to the inlet but the currents are not strong at all (if there are any). You can fish right along shore, we found out by chance that there are a lot of good places to fish for stripers right outside the harbor.

Gotta run.

I can give you some more info later...
