Maine Striper fishing report 7/8/08

"Master Angler" Ben Lowe with a couple of fat Stripers caught this Morning off Mid-Coast Maine...a 28" & 31"...not quite the 33" he caught with me last season but pretty close!!!



We experienced some better fishing today, we found some nice sized fish too!!!...Ben Lowe, in his fourth season fishing with me scored some nice fish up to 31"...An Early morning start proved to be very important...our very first cast brought a 31" Striped Bass to boat...Second cast, a 28" Striper, then a pair of fat Slot sized fish followed. While the fishing still remains slow across much of the Maine Coast, we still are managing to find some fish for our clients.

Our Kids fishing trips have been very popular...non stop "Mackeral Mayhem" action has been putting smiles on many young anglers faces, parents too!!!(see sidebar)

Last night's "Evening Blitz" trip with Maine DIF&W regional Biologist Allen Starr was cut a little short as we had to come to the aid of a Lobsterman in mechanical distress...it's not the first time I've had to play Tug Boat Capt...That commercial assistance towing endorsement on my USCG 100 ton master lic comes in handy every once in awhile ....Oh well, We'll get them next time Allen!!!

Also, a few days ago, while roughly 12 miles offshore we ran into a small school(6-8 fish) of Giant Bluefin Tuna. These fish were just cruising the surface, not feeding, just simply basking in the sunshine. while we didn't have the appropriate gear aboard for these big boys, we did manage a couple of casts to them without even a look. Whales were rolling all around us and good numbers of Gannets were searching for bait balls on the surface. It's Just a matter of time before the "football" tuna come screaming up the coast...We'll be there waiting!!!
Reservations comntinue to come in for the 2008 season. Call today to set up a time.
