July has arrived in mid coast Maine and the Kennebec river Striped Bass season officially begins today. This morning I had the privledge to guide Vermont couple, Ed Curtis & his wife Theresa....
despite getting on the Kennebec at 7:00 am we still managed to land on stripers within minutes of leaving the dock in Bath. We've been finding good numbers of fish on the rocky ledges with fast moving water pouring over them...today would be no different....Theresa connected first...a fat 28 incher...Ed's first fish came moments later...Theresa then went on a run landing severel nice fish in a row between 26-34 inches...A double hook-up followed as Ed & Theresa continued to make my job easy. A great morning on the water & I'm sure that i'll be seeing these guys again. 
Yesterday, We fished offshore for Cod, The bite was very consistent till around noon before shutting down...we boated over 50 cod using a mix of diamond jigs & butterfly jigs...both styles were rigged with a teaser about 18 inches above the jig.
Mackerel are still around in big numbers and huge schools of herring clog up the tidal rivers.
Reservations have been coming in steadily so If you've been holding back on making that reservation I urge you to please look at your calendar and let us know asap which dates that you have in mind...
