Maine Striper Fishing Report: Super Fly Charters June 22nd, 2009

Maine Stripers & the anglers who chase them left feeling grumpy after this weeks stormy weather!!!! Summer weather returns in time for this weekend!!!!

Now on to the fishing conditions....

Striped Bass continue to flood into Maine waters but stormy weather runoff has the rivers and bays left muddy...not surprisingly the Striper fishing has been hampered by these conditions...No doubt, as soon as this weather breaks and the water begins to stabilize we should see some excellent fishing opportunities...After postponing a couple of trips to start the week...I'm excited to get back on the water. The Bluefin Tuna have arrived and numerous fish have been landed locally. The largest fish that I have heard about was around 400 pounds...Reports also indicate that smaller fish in the 100-150 pound range have been blitzing on Mackerel on some of the near shore midcoast ledges.

(Bill Farland with his personal best 30+ inch Striper caught in 18 inches of water)

Tomorrow morning I'll have angler Bill Farland return for his 3rd year...Bill is hoping to beat his personal best 32" Striper on the fly...we didn't get a chance to beat that fish last year as we faced some tough conditions during his two days of fishing...This year I'm very optimistic as we have some very nice fish around...a little cooperation from the weather and we'll be in business
