Overview

This designated fishing area is located in Kittery within or associated with restricted base property near the Piscataqua River. The surrounding tidal waters can support excellent seasonal fishing, particularly when striped bass and baitfish move through the lower river.

However, this listing is fundamentally different from a normal municipal fishing pier. Its Google Maps name specifically identifies it as an authorized fishing area on base, so general public access should not be assumed.

Fishing Tips

Only fish here when you have the necessary authorization and are complying with all current security and installation rules. Do not attempt to enter restricted property solely to reach the fishing location.

Authorized anglers can use typical Piscataqua River techniques such as jigs, soft plastics, and plugs where regulations permit.

Bottom Line

A potentially productive Piscataqua River fishing area, but one intended for people with appropriate base access or authorization rather than unrestricted public use.
