I had Ken Boucher of Cumberland County Glass aboard today along with his brother and friends. Very nice folks who love spending time outdoors....Slaying the stripers was just icing on the cake. It seems like during my last several trips the guys on board have been in a race to see how quickly we can get the skunk off the boat....today was no different...just minutes from leaving the dock in Bath...we were locked up with a nice keeper striper...I like it when that happens!!! The next stop took us a couple of drifts to hook up...And then the bite turned on and we boated many more nice fish...The spot we were fishing features an extremely hard running current that washes over a rocky ridge, often times we need to position the boat to drift right through the rocks...well in the process of this we hook a nice striper and as I'm drifting along getting ready lip the striper i hear a loud thunk as my lower unit grazes the ledge and snaps the skeg off my yammie...oh well nothing new here on the Maine coast...A quick stop to see Alex Martins at Bluewater Fabrication on my way home from the ramp and i'm as good as new...sometimes you just have to go into places that the average fishermen wouldn't dare venture....the bite at this ledge tapers off so we scoot off to the next group of ledges (with a slight limp)...we get set up for a drift and as we slide into the rip...one of our rods double over with another healthy Striped Bass...we pick this ledge over pretty good landing several more slot sized fish before the tide slacks and we call it a day !!!
If you're looking to fish with us season...please call us soon for available dates!!! We are taking reservations daily.Capt. George Harris
