| 1611.1 | try Newburypost/Salisbury | PENUTS::GORDON | | Tue Jun 04 1991 13:04 | 27 |
| I haven't been out on a party boat. I have my own but read the fishing
reports for the area. The full day boats have been getting good
catches of cod, some wolffish, mackeral, and an occasional haddock.
The half day boats are gearing to mackeral since they are all over the
place now. I caught 2 five gallon buckets of them in a couple hours last
Saturday.
Some choices in the Newburyport/Salisbury area.
Captains fishing parties on Plum island. They have a new 78 foot boat
plus a couple half day boats.
Hiltons fishing dock has one , I beiieve it's called the Capt Lew
Across the river in salisbury there is Clipper marine. They have a
full day boat and two half day boats. I have been out with these folks
in the past and they are a good crew and usually find fish for
everyone.
I cannot help you with the prices since I haven't been for 3 years.
Hope this helps. There are also other notes in this conference which
have many more operations all up and down the coast.

| 1611.2 | Party boat info | VICKI::DODIER | Food for thought makes me hungry | Tue Jun 04 1991 14:13 | 17 |
| re:-1 (please move this with the others Mr. Mod.)
Correction - Captain's Fishing parties has a new 90' boat. They got
the 78'er a couple years ago.
I went out on the new boat (Captain's Lady II) last Monday and had
an excellent trip out to Northern Jeffries.
The boat had 6 fish over 20 lbs. and the pool winner was a 32 lb.
cod. I personally caught many cod, a cusk, a wolfish, some pollack, and
some mackeral (mackeral were EVERYWHERE).
BTW - The dog fish are already in so bait fishing will probably
deteriate pretty quickly. I'd suggest that if someone is going for cod
that they do it quick or consider jigging.

| 1611.3 | Try Eastman's Fishing in Seabrook | PIPPER::JDREW | | Tue Jun 04 1991 16:24 | 12 |
| I usually go out with Eastman's Fishing in Seabrook N.H. It's just
across the bridge form Hampton. I've been setting up trips for years
for my group and have always had reasonable luck fishing. We will be
going out this Friday. I think is full day is $27 and 1/2 day is $15.
I've always done the full day trip which goes out to Jeffery's Ledge.
The half day trips will go to Isle of Sholes. Mackeral fishing is fun
for the kids and some big kids too. You'll get more mackeral than you
want to carry home. Jeffery's ledge is the best area for cod fishing
but the dog fish will screw that up quick.
Have fun and good luck

| 1611.4 | Went W/Captains on Plum Island | ASABET::POMEROY | | Thu Jun 20 1991 08:34 | 21 |
| I know this report is a little late, but here it is anyway. I went
out with Captains Fishing Parties. We were fidhing for Mackeral and
Blues. We did manage to catch a few Mackeral, but not many. They
said that the Blues had started to move in earlier in the week and
drove out all the other fish. Fishing was real/reel slow. Most
fish were caught in small spurts as the Mackeral circled through the
area, which was 12 miles outside of Plum Island. I was not to
impressed with the staff. They were young and very inexperienced.
They equipment left something to be desired. They reels were held
together with rubber bands. And the rods looked like they would snap
if you caught a good sixe of anything.
Overall rating based on a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best):
I would rate it a low 3... Price was cheap $18/half-day and
$31/full-day. I can't remember what the equipment rental fee was, but
it sure doesn't go towards the rods and reels. Advice if you go,
bring a freshwater rod, with 10-12 lbs. test line and some silver jigs,
when you do catch one it does get fun.
