Fishing Report May 4, 2026

We are getting confirmed reports of fresh striped bass in Boston Harbor and the Merrimack River. A few warm days should warm the oceans up a bit and push more stripers further north. Trout have been stocked all over and anglers are filling their creels. Smallmouth bass are moving onto beds in southern New England and are actively hitting surface baits. Haddock are being caught, but the weather has been making the fishing tough most days. All the larger salmon lakes seem to be producing good numb …
