Maine Saltwater Fishing Reports Blog

Welcome to the Fish Blog & saltwater fishing reports page of TIDE CHASER GUIDE SERVICE & Capt. George Harris. We're looking forward to providing you with the most up to date inshore saltwater fishing reports on the Maine coast as the Maine Striper Fishing season goes forward into 2019!!! You wont find any generic"cut & paste" reports or info here...Just pure fishing!!!

TIDE CHASER provides friendly, professional guided fly & light tackle fishing trips.
We operate our fishing TRIPS in the Mid-Coast region of Maine, from Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay. This area features an astonishing 1000 miles of jagged, pristine coastline. We focus our efforts on the broad reach of the lower Kennebec river estuary & the outer boundaries of Casco Bay...with its countless thousands of acres of untouched saltwater flats, gnarly tides that rip over rocky structure and an intricate maze of backcountry channels, It's a fly & light tackle fishermans nirvana. On any given day we can be found fishing sandy beaches, ocean front ledges, coastal tide marshes or shallow hard bottom flats. Wherever the fish are!!! Whether it's on the fly...pitching plugs or live lining frisky live baits we've got you covered check out our website for all of our trip offerings...and stay tuned for some new trips options for 2019

Cape Cod Striper Fishing: South Beach

Chatham's South Beach off the "elbow" of Cape Cod...a surf fly fishermans paradise!!!






Below lies the Famed "Chatham Bars" looking north to Nauset and Pleasant Bay










When the conditions are right, we'll slip into our waders,...grab an 8-10 wt rod or maybe even a two handed rod if the wind is really up.... a box of flies with patterns ranging from sandeels to crab flies to heavily weighted squid...and hit the beach...Schoolie Bass are the norm but we often find Huge Bass cruising just outside the surf line....I like windward stretches of beach...with bait being blown in tight the Stripers usually become lit up and feed aggressively...although casting into a stiff breeze is not the easiest...it's often the most productive!!! This habitat is comprised of surf, sand flats, fast water channels, bays, coves, rips and marsh. All easily accessible and fished with a fly rod.
Monomoy hangs from the elbow of Cape Cod from the quaint town of Chatham, Massachusetts marking the parting line of the Atlantic Ocean's bluewater rips and Nantucket Sound's shoal-warmed water. Here a diversity of coastal and oceanic conditions are forced together in an unlikely union and the fish find it a uniquely wonderful place to hang out and feed.


*New for the 2009 Season...In addition to our Maine fishing we'll be offering spring & fall Striper fishing trips on Cape Cod, MA... We'll fish Buzzard's Bay, Cape Cod Bay and the entire outer cape area from Chatham to Provincetown...Stay tuned and book early, We'll only be offering a limited number of these trips.

Call us today to set up a time
