Went out of Hampton NH yesterday on one of Eastman’s smaller boats for pollack, haddock and cod. 25 of us all from central and northern VT. There was a small craft advisory with 3-6’ seas up to 25 miles out. Wicked waves and current coming out of the inlet but once we cleared that it wasn’t bad for the first hour or so.

Got up to Pulaski last week for 24 hrs to fish for steelhead. This was my best outing yet. I was able to land two, two broke off with good fights and lost 4-6 others that took. It was cold rainy weather and the water was a bit high, but apparently that was the ticket. I only get up this once a year but I really enjoy it ..read more
