Maine Striper Fishing Blog Report: Super Fly Charters June 18th, 2009

Maine Striper fishing with fly & light tackle!!!

Locally...Striper fishing continues to get better...we have fresh fish migrating into our waters on a daily basis...Mostly schoolie sized slot fish with some bigger specimens showing up as well....Mackeral are here and have been blitzing on acre sized schools of juvie herring...Reports of snapper Bluefish have been trickling in.

Here we are...nearly a month into our season here on the Maine coast. Already there seems to be way more Stripers in our waters than all of last year...Still, I hear some local guys complaining about the lack of fish...some of these guys I have always considered very good anglers....Hmmm, my question to some of these chronic complainers has been or should be....what have you done differently??? Some anglers fail to make adjustments in the way they fish and continue to make the same mistakes over & over again...the poor results that these anglers end up with should be of no suprise!!! I can't even count the number of times over the course of the last couple of seasons that I've seen anglers run up to a spot...make a couple of casts with their "tried & true" lure or fly without hooking up and then go blasting away to the next location...at the end of the day, back at the dock the complaining begins...about how there are no fish...if the fish were there surely these anglers would have caught them with their "tried & true" offerings....yeah right!!!
Saavy anglers make the proper adjustments in the way they present their flies, lures, baits etc....and these adjustments often pay big dividends if the fishing gets tough. I'm on the water all day everyday so that gives me abit of an advantage over the average weekend angler...I'm always looking for different ways to bring more fish to the boat...usually it's something subtle that makes a difference...but sometimes it's something completely outside the box....keep that in mind the next time you're out on the water and things just don't seem to be working for you!!!
