Matt, at Black Hall Outfitters in Westbrook told me that the local fishing remains in full summer mode. Bass can almost always be caught, but morning and evening, along with after dark is your best bet. The usual suspects, such as GT eels and other big soft plastics, live eels/bunker, large topwaters, and trolling tubes have been the top producers. There are some nice gator bluefish around as well, but they are scattered quite a bit. Sea bass and fluke are being taken locally by the anglers that grind and are fishing the “lesser-known” spots. Luckily, the porgies are everywhere, so they’ll help salvage a day if you can find the other two species!

After a week of brutal heat and humidity, the current daytime highs in the low-70’s and cool, cloudy weather are welcome. For now, the summer heat has subsided. But that doesn’t mean the fishing on and around Cape Cod has cooled down at all. From Cape Cod Bay to the canyons, inshore and offshore fishing options for the coming weekend are plentiful and have the potential to be very productive.

Portsmouth, NH

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

Whale, they didn’t see that coming.

A pair of fishermen were tossed into the chilly New Hampshire waters Tuesday when a “pissed off” humpback landed squarely on their boat.

The thrilling video shows the magnificent beast soar above the surface just beyond the stern of the small vessel anchored a half-mile off the coast of Portsmouth. 



With nowhere else to go, the leviathan’s head smashed onto the 23-foot boat, dragging it down into the water as it made its hard landing.
