New Hampshire Guided Kayak Fishing Trips
LICENSED AND INSURED
During your trip, you will enjoy using one of our Old Town PDL (pedal) kayaks. They are extremely stable, comfortable, and designed for fishing in almost any conditions.
We offer a limited number of kayak fishing trips for in-shore striped bass with light tackle and fall black crappie trips.
During your trip, you will learn about the area you are fishing, the species you are fishing for, and techniques that will help you become more effective.
We run trips five days a week and usually offer two trips (some exceptions apply) each day, an early morning trip and an evening trip. Mornings are typically the most productive, but we allways catch fish.
Please review the information on this page. You will also find an FAQ section at the bottom of this page
PLEASE NOTE:
NH law requires the head and tail of all fish to remain intact while on or leaving the waters of the state.
For this reason, we do not offer fish cleaning.

FAQ
G: How long are your kayak fishing trips?
A: All our trips are four-hours long.
Q: Can I extend the time of my trip?
A: You may extend your trip for $100/hour when available. You can decide this on the spot, but we may not be available for longer trips due to prior commitments.
Q: What do you provide?
A: We provide everything you need for your trip except food/drinks, fishing licenses, appropriate clothing, and customary gratuity. Kayaks, PFDs, all fishing gear and tackle/lures is provided.
Q: How many people can you take at one time?
A: We can take up to three people and the rate is per person.
Q: What is the minimum age or kayak fishing trips?
A: Due to the size of our kayaks and the fact that they are pedal driven, we reccommend a minimum age of 13 years old.
Q: If I want to keep fish, do I need to bring a cooler?
A: Yes, but leave it in your vehicle. During the cooler months, when water temps are low, we will bring a floating fish well or big game stringer. As temps rise into the 60s we will bring a cooler with ice.
Q: Do you offer fish cleaning?
A: Unfortunately, no. New Hampshire law requires that “The head and tail must remain intact while on or leaving the waters of the state.”
We can gut your fish for you, but don’t recommend it if you plan to fillet them anyway. They are easier to fillet when intact.
Q: What if it rains during our trip?
A: That’s what they make raingear for. Don’t worry, we will be out there with you. The fish don’t care, they’re already wet. Check the weather for the day of your trip and dress appropriately. The only time we cancel due to weather is when it becomes impossible or dangerous to be on the water. Ultimately, we make the final call.
Q: I’m a larger person. Is it safe for me to go kayak fishing?
A: We use Old Town Bigwater 132 PDL Kayaks. They are very stable and have a usable weight capacity of 385-pounds.
Q: Do you offer instruction before the trip?
A: Yes. Prior to heading out, we will evaluate your level of experience and teach you basics to keep you safe.
Q: How should I dress for kayak fishing?
A: We advise on the 120-degree rule, which states that if ther combined air and water temperature are less then 120-degrees, a dry suit is recommended. That said, you will not be alone and we are never far from shore on guided trips. Should you fall out and get wet, we will be able to assist you in getting back into your kayak and then someplace dry. Additionally, regardless of the temperature, there is always a chance that you could get wet, from getting in and out of your kayak to holding dripping fish, it’s always best not to wear anything that cannot get wet.
Q: How difficult is kayak fishing for striped bass?
A: The kayaks we us are Old Town PDL (pedal drive) kayaks. You pedal them like a bicycle. They are quite comfortable, but you will be sitting for four hours, so keep that in mind. We do not know what you are physically capable of. Also, you will be fishing in areas with tidal current. We do our best to stay out of the heavier currents. but you will have to work for your fish. If you are looking for a relaxing leisurly trip, these might not be for you.
