Maine Saltwater Fishing 2011: Start Planning Your Trip Today!!!

(Chris Oliver getting introduced to his backing by a fat Kennebec River Striper)

December Booking Special: WOW!!! Anglers booking any guided trip before Jan. 1st, 2011 will receive $50.00 dollars off on any guided trips listed on our menu...To continuously grow our business, we offer an extensive variety of saltwater/tidewater trip options that is second to none on the Maine coast...An obvious benefit of this awesome trip selection is that we rarely ever have to cancel a trip due to rough conditions...or if the bite of your first choice species happens to be in a slow period...we can instantly switch gears and head in a different direction with a new target species...there is no need for you to ever lose time on the water or get stuck in some tough fishing conditions!!! As a full time guide/waterman and a native of coastal Maine, I have spent my entire lifetime here, as well as a long 6 year stint living on both coasts of Florida, constantly perfecting and broadening the skills of my craft and it's my genuine pleasure to be able to share all that I have learned with you.
The majority of our anglers opt for the ever popular fly & light tackle trips for hard fighting Stripers & Bluefish...the ultimate saltwater experience for fishing the inshore coastal waters of Maine!!!
For youngsters...you can't go wrong with the 4 hr kids fishing trip for Mackerel, Pollock and Striped Bass..basically whatever is biting the best to keep the kids interest level sky high!!! Your kids will be worn out after this adventure ends...but they'll never forget it!!!..Like all of our trips, the kids trip can be customized to include an intro to fly or light tackle fishing lesson and many other instructional options...
Offshore we offer 6 & 8 hr "bottom bashing" trips for tasty groundfish species...Cod fishing on light weight butterfly jigging gear is a total blast or if big game fishing is what you're looking for, get pinned to the rail with the "Monster Fishing" trip for Shark & Tuna...
For the fisherman that prefers fishing from shore or wading, we provide walk in style fishing on some of Maine's most pristine beaches and marshes...
Winter months we offer the traditional Maine experience of ice fishing on the frozen waters of Great Salt Bay...the quarry is the tasty Smelt...We target this pint sized yet super aggressive and very delicious fish species using hyper sensitive jigging rods equipped with a tiny bait tipped jig...
Some of our other trip options will include tidal Smallmouth Bass, Shad on the fly, Moonlight Stripers, and even a limited number of night Squid Jigging trips when the run is at it's peak...fresh calamari anyone!!! Are you ready to have some fun... Whether it's on the boat, off the beach, in the marsh or on the ice...whether it's on the fly, pitching plugs or live lining frisky live baits...we've got you covered!!!...Looking forward to seeing you all again in 2011 <*{{{>{

Happy Thanksgiving From Capt. George Harris & Super Fly Charters

(Green Crab Fly...a must have fly for Stripers in the N.E.)
We at Super Fly Charters would like to wish all of our family, friends & patrons a happy, safe & enjoyable Thanksgiving day...If you're one of the many that are headed out into the woods or are planning to spend some time on the water...Please be safe!!!

This is the time of year when I spend the most time at the fly tying bench....re stocking the fly boxes and coming up with new ways to to improve my fly patterns...Almost all of the flies that we use during my guiding season are custom made right at my bench...for those of you that live in the area and want to learn all about saltwater fly tying...we'll be offering several courses throughout the winter months...these will most likely be 6-8 week courses 1 night a week....all material will be provided....get in touch if you're interested in learning how to tie the top patterns for saltwater fishing in the northeast as well as some patterns for anglers traveling to the tropics!!!

Best to all, Capt. George Harris

Here at Super Fly Charters We're continuously looking for new ways to raise the bar higher and higher...Our goal, as always, is to provide the best service available to our anglers...All of our trips are customized for the individual angler...We have some new trip options that we're working on to help us better serve YOU the angler so please stay tuned for these exciting new offerings that we'll be rolling out for 2011 and beyond...just a few examples of our current offerings are "Monster Fishing" with fly and light tackle...This full day trip was designed for the angler who wants to "go big or go home"...reminiscent of a nat geo show, this blood, sweat and tears style of fishing will test your nerves as well as your stamina as we target some of the largest, most ferocious, tackle busting pelagic Sharks & Tuna that swim in the Gulf of Maine...We utilize "run & gun" techniques for Tuna and "chum & gun" techniques for Shark...yeah all on fly & light tackle as well as "stand-up" gear!!! Our action packed groundfish trip is a total blast...we cruise offshore to the ledges and banks and while whales roll all around us, we'll drop our "butterfly" jigs with lightweight spin and conventional tackle for tasty bottom fish species like Cod, Haddock and Pollock...if you love Grouper and Snapper fishing down south...this trip is right up your alley...Our most popular offering over the years has been our inshore trip for Striped Bass & Bluefish with fly & light tackle...This trip takes place in the Mid-Coast region of Maine, from Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay...an area featuring an astonishing 1000 miles of jagged, pristine shoreline habitat. We focus our efforts on the broad reach of the lower Kennebec River system including Merrymeeting Bay and it's adjacent tidal estuaries...This dynamic fishery consists of thousands of acres of untouched saltwater flats, gnarly tides that rip over rocky structure and an intricate maze of never ending backcountry channels. It's a fly & light tackle fisherman's nirvana!!! We recognize the fact that out on the water, there are no fences holding fish in specific areas, so to better serve our anglers, we trailer our boats...staying mobile is going to be the key in 2011...we're not married to specific areas...If the bite heats up north or south of our home base on the Kennebec River region we'll simply haul the 21' Parker or the smaller more nimble 17' shallow draft skiff to where the hottest action is...this nomadic mobility allows us to access the incredibly scenic and fish rich waters of Penobscot Bay, Muscongus Bay & Sheepscot Bay to the north and to the south we'll explore the diverse fisheries around the Calendar islands of Casco Bay & further down the coast the Scarborough Marsh, Saco Bay, and the Saco River...On any given day we can be found fishing coastal tide marshes, shallow flats, sandy beaches and islands or ledges located offshore....Basically wherever the fish are biting best & whatever fish are biting best!!!
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 exciting new trips options for 2011
