Maine Saltwater Guided Mothership Wade Fishing Trips With Super Fly Charters

Hey Everyone!!! With both of the kids now in daycare, I'm slowly but surely getting caught up on the stuff that I want to share with you guys...For many of you...it's nothing new, you've been hopping out of the boat with me for years. This year I'm taking these trips to a whole new level & I want to bring you all up to speed on this. We'll have some new specialized equipment to make the wade fishing more efficient Most of the details are described below but if you want more info pick up the phone and give us a call on the Maine Striper Fishing Hotline!!!

Guided Mothership Wading Trips

The area that we fish has  many sprawling  hard bottom tidal flats that are bathed in crystal clear ocean waters. Wading the leading edge of a flooding tide can yield some spectacular catches from knee deep water…The same can be said of fishing the edges of flats that have drained off...Even the stealthiest boat will only give you a limited shots at fish and will often spook skinny water stripers out of range or into into deepwater… but a careful wade fishermen can more effectively creep up on wary fish !!! Bring your own waders (Recommended)  or brave the elements and wet wade. Even though the water warms up in July & August waders are a huge benefit for extended wading sessions. This trip option can be tailored specifically for fly or light tackle wade fishermen. Having our boat, the “Super Fly”, to serve as our mothership has huge benefits over our land based  surf fishing trips…The first and biggest benefit is mobility…being able to chase the tides efficiently is critical to success and with Maine’s jagged coastline a boat offers the fastest transport when hopping the peninsula’s and little time is lost. Other benefits include the ability to carry a virtual bait and tackle shop of gear with you!!! The last benefit  is that the boat ride to and from the prime wading areas covers some of the most productive striper grounds in the midcoast region….it’s not unusual to be “interrupted” by hungry schools of blitzing Stripers or Bluefish on the way to you wade fishing spots!!! 

I also want to let you know that once the season gets underway we'll be posting a daily dockside video trip report from the Kennebec Tavern on our FB social media page...It's going to be really cool...so make sure you head on over there and give our Super Fly Charters Facebook Page a like!!

Stay Salty My Friends!!!
