Who fishes out of Portsmouth, NH

[angler management]

Portsmouth to Saco is 34 miles point to point,,

Lowrance has simulators on there web site of there chart plotters.
I had it loaded on my computer to try out before I purchased one.

It makes it nice to find out distances over the winter to see were I might attempt going.

So does anyone have any experiences from the Hampton River Marina? Going to look at it tomorrow and just curious as to what you've heard.

Hi Guys,

This is my first post here on the boards so I say Hello to all!

I am a Saco River Rat and its approximately 26 Nautical Miles to the North End of Jeffries Ledge from the mouth of the Saco out in front of the Wood Island Light

I also fish Tanta's Ledge and Platt's Bank in addition to many other locations...Fishing for Tuna, Sharks, and of course groundfish...

I do fish for Bluefish(best Mako Bait) however if I want a striper I normally just hang a mackeral chunk off the dock at my marina when the tide is right.

howdy ranger.

another thing up there is nightime cruising is tricky. tons and i mean TONS of lobster pots. most have four foot chain from the markers too.
there always seems to be macks up there just outside/arround the mouth so bait is never a problem.
just too many damn lobster pots but thats probly what holds the macks in there, all that biat in the water

FF did you get the name of that marina? It looks like it may be a bit far for me but if the price is right who knows?

martsons {sp?} in biddeford ME.
cheap i think last time i asked it was 43 bucks a foot.
no nuthing there. no marina just a dock with about 30 or so boats. ramp right arround the corner. haul out cranes down river a little ways.
about an hour over the pasquatica bridge give or take?

tajonYou are looking for :

Marston's Marina

tel. 207-283-3727

They are very nice people...There is gasoline there but no diesel and there is normally a very long waiting list to get in.

hope this helps!
