Maine Striper Fishing: Kennebec River Slayfest!!

Well..we've had some bouncy weater weather this month and except for a noreaster a week or so ago...we haven't slowed down at all. This morning, I had an enthusiastic crew aboard who didn't mind fishing in sideways rain, In search of the wonderful ailment called "Striper Thumb" we departed the Kennebec Tavern Marina at 5am to catch the last of the incoming tide..Haha..For some strange reason it took us a little while(15-20min)to get into a groove, but when we found what we were looking for it was game on with non stop action!!! The big story this season has been the invasion of little schoolie Stripers...That's right we've been enjoying some red hot action on schoolie Stripers!!! They are a blast on fly & light tackle and are so much fun to watch them do cartwheels and headstands as they smash through herring schools...These smaller fish that have been noticably absent for several years...Although we all like catching big trophy stripers these little guys are extremely important to our resource and I'm thrilled that they are once again migrating along much of the Maine coast. Another reminder to crush those barbs down when you encounter one of these large schools of striped bass the action is hot and it just makes sense to take it easy on the fish you plan to release anyway...As usual stay tuned for more action from the mighty Kennebec and adjacent areas!!
