Now Booking: More Fishing, Less Travel Time fishing report coverpicture

Merrimack River - Essex, MA Inshore Report on 9th Jun, 2026 - 2

Just like that winter is FINALLY over and we’re ready to get back fishing!!! Maiden voyage for F/V Dirty Water this weekend, and boy was it fun. We were able to break in the motors and go for a ride to the Isle of Shoals. This boat has a very smooth ride and gets going fast. We were able to get it up to 40mph through 3-4 foot waves and you could barely feel a bump. We have not cranked it up to full throttle yet but we got it up to 50, and that felt like we were flying. That means less time traveling and more time fishing. We’re ready to start booking charters on both boats now so don’t hesitate before the schedule is full! Call or text Capt. Jim at 978-888-3585 to book your trip today!! #polarischarters #fishingcharter #deepseafishing #deepseafishingcharter #wishingwewerefishing #fishma #fishnh #striper #stripah #stripedbass #mackerel #pogies #lobster #mainelobster #sharkfishing #plumisland #newburyport #salisbury #merrimackriver #jeffreysledge #atlanticocean #capehorn #parker #fish #fishing

Merrimack River - Essex, MA Inshore Report on 9th Jun, 2026 - 3

The bass are finally here! It’s my favorite time of the year. The fish are blitzing on herring pushing them to the surface and coming out of the water. Watching them chase top water lures is a blast. Come out and get it while it lasts! Call or text Capt. Jim at 978-888-3585 to book your trip today!! #polarischarters #fishingcharter #deepseafishing #deepseafishingcharter #wishingwewerefishing #fishma #fishnh #striper #stripah #stripedbass #mackerel #pogies #lobster #mainelobster #sharkfishing #plumisland #newburyport #salisbury #merrimackriver #jeffreysledge #atlanticocean #capehorn #parker #fish #fishing

Striper Bass Fishing 2023! fishing report coverpicture

April 29, 2023

Merrimack River - Essex, MA Inshore Report on 29th Apr, 2023

If you're planning a fishing trip in search of striper bass, you'll be happy to know that Polaris Charters has been having great success lately. The fish have been biting well in shallow waters along the shoreline, as well as out deeper around submerged structures such as reefs and drop-offs. Anglers using live bait like herring or anchovies have been particularly successful lately.
