no stripers in Great Bay

[falkners]

There is a great article about fishing The Great Bay and surrounding waters in the Sep. 09 issue of Fly Fisherman called "Granite State Stripers" by Dave Shirley. See if you can find an issue. It goes into great detail about the spring estuary fishing and herring run as well as spots in and around Portsmouth and the shoreline to Hampton. By the way if you have 100 hrs in and haven't had success I suggest you learn the Tube & Worm technique. It will change your luck in a hurry. Also, don't ever anchor in a strong current. It is a recipe for disaster. Good luck and be careful the water is pretty cold up there.
