Schoolie striped bass are swarming throughout the Great Bay/Piscatagua River watershed with bigger sniffing around herring runs.

The march of the stripers continues unabated, and with mackerel present, you can expect to find hungry bass feeding on the surface.

Haddock are being caught steep drop-offs on Jeffrey’s and Platt’s, stripers should arrive any dow now, and in freshwater, the trout and salmon action remains strong.

The stripers have arrived and their numbers are growing with each tide.

April means salmon so look for landlocks to remain active by the Weirs section of Winnipesaukee as well as Thompson Lake in Maine.

Inshore haddock have finally made a showing.

Although limits of haddock have been proving difficult, redfish and hake can be found in good numbers on top of Jeffrey’s Ledge.

Trout stocking has peaked with tigers, brookies and browns joining the previously stocked rainbow trout in every section of our state.

Pre-spawn largemouths are starting to stir while saltwater angling is beginning to take off with haddock being the focus for most anglers.

Rivers remain red hot options and are only getting better now that water temperatures have crested 50 degrees.
