(Rich Tudor and Son team up for some Kennebec Stripers)
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...To accomplish this, we listen to our anglers needs and advise them accordingly rather than push a certain style of fishing on them, let's face it, we've all fished with "Capt. Awesome" and have had to endure the ensuing brag fest of all of his blah blah blah accomplishments...Well let me assure you that there are no huge ego's or elitist attitudes here...we'd much rather impress you with a fun, laid back, quality fishing experience...That's just the way we roll!!!...So while "Capt. Hollywood" preps his hall of fame speech...We'll quietly keep on doing what we do best....continue to offer you some of the very best saltwater fishing experiences that New England has to offer.
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...
One of our more unusual trip offerings involves fishing for an exotic invasive species that unfairly gets a bad rap...The mighty or lowly Carp (depending on your point of view...LOL!!!) To us, if it has fins, we're going after it...it's just that simple. The Carp, A revered game fish in Europe for decades as well as a less than revered target in many regions across the United States, Carp fishing here in Maine is slowly starting to catch on...I've played around with Carp off and on since I was a little kid...back then the techniques were quite simple...The game is much different now as we have decided to embrace these lumbering red-headed step children of the flats using fly and light tackle gear, so if "rough fish" are your thing, you'll love our Merrymeeting Bay "Trash Can Tarpon" trip...These bizarrely behaving brutes can be taken on the fly and they respond very well to a combination of artificial and natural baits on ultra light spin gear.
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

There are lot's of different ways to get Carp to respond....don't believe the hype that Carp can only be taken on fly from the deck of a poling skiff, Do yourself a huge favor...don't drink the KOOL-AID...the fact remains that the common Carp, like Stripers, only spend limited time in the shallows...like most other species, the larger schools travel and hold in the relative safety of the deeper water where they are safer from predators but become much easier targets for the fishermen!!! Either way...shallow or deep...there are very few anglers fishing for them...we already have many of these trips booked for the 2011 season, so we'll be there fishing for them...will you? hahaha ;-)
