10/16 Whiting-Ling-Pollock Eastmans Fishing NH

[CaptBob]

Had the pleasure of sailing on a sponsor boat Lady Merilee out of Eastmans Fishing Sea Brook, NH on Friday 10/16. Trip was put together by Site member Marc Schloss, and he did a great job.

There were 21 of us on a 95' boat, plenty of room. Boat was top shelf as was the Capt and the Deckhands. Conditions were a tad sporty for most of the day, making not ideal fishing conditions, but we still did good. Wind was honking at 35 at one point, but by the end of the day she laid down nice.

Started the morning off catching Macks for bait and table, right outside the inlet, in about 30 minutes we had all we needed and headed to the grounds.

Steady pick of Whiting and Ling all daym my group averaged 35-40 Whiting per man. Catch numerous Cod and Haddock that had to go back, made a couple Pollack drops, ya had to weed through shorts, but nice fish were mixed in.

We did a community food for the trip and you had all you wanted: Bagels, Donuts, Pastries, Hot Dogs Hamburgers, Spaghetti/Meatball, Lasagna, Baked Beans, Hot Pretzels, Chip, d, water and Gatorade. No one went hungry .

Great group on the boat, made several new friends. Big Kudos to Marc for a well planned event.

Marc and 5 others went on a 6 pack out of Eastmans the day before and slammed the Whiting and Pollock, they averaged 50+ Whiting a man and filled up with Pollack to 10 lbs.

Great time by all in my group.We will be back.

As I type the Whiting are in the Brine Barrel, Cherry Wood is soaking...Smoking begins in the AM
