Maine Striper Fishing Report June 29th 2011. This morning I had avid Maine outdoorsman Jeremiah Jewell aboard for some amazing light tackle fishing...This guy is a natural whiz kid at fishing, archery, hunting...you name the outdoor activity & Jeremiah has an unhealthy addiction for it...We got an early start down the Kennebec and were greeted by damp, foggy conditions...In all honesty...my kind of fishing weather...As the tide started to flood I explained to Jeremiah what we were going to try to accomplish...It didn't take long...Fat sea bright Stripers began coming to the boat seemingly on command...Hanging deep in the current and blitzing all around the boat on the surface...I told Jeremiah to basically ignore the busting bass and focus on the ones that were hanging just beneath the surface...The sounder was lit up like Times Square...big red glowing blobs all over the fish finder screen indicated the carnage taking place below us...We moved from spot to spot on the river chasing the incoming tide and left the fish biting at each spot, which violates the most common rule of fishing...never leave fish to find fish...but it was one of those fishy mornings and we could do little wrong!!! By the end of the tide Jeremiah was working the currents like he owned them...and for a four hr window today, he did!!!
Good numbers of Stripers are pouring into the Kennebec watershed in numbers not seen in the last several years...Huge schools of bait are around and that should keep the Stripers happy through September & into October. During the past week I have had several bite offs of rubber shad tails which tells me that small bluefish are making there way into the river...hopefull we see a big charge of them show up this summer...we had some amazing bluefish blitzes last summer, tons of fun!!!
Friday July 1st marks the official start to the season on the Kennebec...the bait restrictions are lifted and the Catch & Release season ends...that said...we still need to be extremely diligent in protecting these fish...especially when we are catching them in big numbers...I'm not one to begrudge someone a fish for dinner for the family and I myself enjoy a fresh wild caught fish anytime that I get the chance...who doesn't love freshly prepared ceviche & cold beers after a long day on the water?...But if you have no plans to eat your catch fresh...please consider releasing your fish to fight again so we can all look forward to some good times ahead!!! Some very good saltwater fishing reports continue to come from anglers around the Mid coast, Casco Bay & southern Maine....anglers in those regions are seeing results similar to what I've been finding on the Kennebec...and those results are excellent!!!
