This past week has been very busy for us...we've mostly focused on the Striped Bass fishery of the Kennebec River...7/23,I had Dennis Kelly return from Sag Harbor,NY...Dennis has tagged over 12000 striped bass in his career...He was able to tag close to two dozen stripers on this trip...not too bad for fishing one rod....Dennis is a great fisherman and hopefully i'll see return next month or in September...Most of the Stripers that we're seeing are still holding on the ledges with fast water moving over them...Fly fishing has been best during the lower light levels and at certain stages of the tide...remember that it is mid summer here and the water is warm...the stripers are well fed and they're not feeding with reckless abandon like they'll be doing in september...For the most part, We've been able to pattern where they're feeding and at what stages of the tide
Yesterday I had Ed Hennessey and his grandkids aboard along with Gary Darby. Ed owns beautiful 60 acre Davis Island, located off Port Clyde, Maine.
I'd been contacted by island caretaker Gary Darby who expressed to me that they'd been having a hard time getting located on the stripers...I put a game plan together and we hit the Kennebec river in search of Striped Bass...
the fishing started off slow but as the incoming tide started to cook...we started scoring good numbers of fish over the ledges...Ed's grand son boated several nice stripers and decided that he wanted to try my trick rod...a short but stout 24" jigging rod designed to jig lake trout through the ice, when the bite is cranking it's a good way to add some fun especially with kids aboard...young Ed was able to boat several more stripers with the trick rod..., which he seemed to be quite proud of Everyone on board caught some nice stripers too...most likely I'll be seeing them again in a week or two.Maine Striper Fishing Guide
