Types of New Hampshire Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

New Hampshire off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips off the Atlantic coast.  New Hampshire off-shore fishing charters take 1-6 people or more out for good times creating memories of the “catch of a lifetime” and commonly fish for swordfish, cod, bluefish, and much more.  Most New Hampshire charters operate out of Portmouth and Hampton.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

New Hampshire in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-4 anglers. These fishing charters generally fish closer to shore and in calmer, more protected waters in and around the numerous bays and islands.  New Hampshire in-shore charters catch a wide variety of fish including the popular striped bass and bluefish.

General Inland

New Hampshire freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats or from shore and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing New Hampshire fresh water lakes and rivers.  These inland fishing guides often target largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and landlocked salmon.  Popular locations include the Connecticut River, Lake Winnipesaukee, and many lakes and rivers throughout the state.

Fly Fishing

New Hampshire fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience from drift boats on beautiful streams casting to natural rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout although the salt water fly fishing guides targets countless species.  Our New Hampshire fly fishing guides fish on most public lakes, rivers, and salt water coastal hot spots.  New Hampshire fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Ice Fishing

Although guided ice fishing trips are dependent on ice conditions, New Hampshire ice fishing guides have great success throughout the state once good ice forms.  You should talk to your guide shortly before your trip to be sure to have a safe trip.  New Hampshire ice fishing guides consistently ice walleye, bass, trout, pike, and panfish.  Chase away “cabin fever” fishing through the hard water.
