Any general thoughts on where go for bigger stripers around the Merrimack River? I seem to see pretty much three groups of boats around - 1) Those that are fishing near the flats in the no wake zone, 2) those that are fishing right at the mouth between the jetties, and 3) a few that are a bit further out
Anyone have thoughts on where to go for some real trophies (catch and release only - no worries!). Would you find bigger fish deeper outside the mouth? Or no? What depth range of water do you find big stripers?
I have the same general question re: depth for mackerel. Do you tend to find them in a certain overall depth range? When in closer ( <30 feet) we seem to get a lot of groundfish on sabikis, but a little further out (>50 feet) get more macks. But, I'm not sure how deep you can really go. Can you find macks in 75 feet? 100 feet?
