Freakin eels man! Get some eels!

These fish are all caught on custom 7' light action rods.

I cant wait! Its only a 3 hour drive from Burlington and you can use the beach as a reason to drag the whole family down

Fishing Joppa Flats can be very exciting fishing day and night times at high tide. When tides are outgoing, drift fishing live bait at the mouth of the Merrimack River is very productive. There is also fishing from shore and the jetty.

Some information to get one started.
