Well our season has begun and we are out having fun on the water nearly everyday now doing a mix of Striped Bass and offshore bottom fishing. Wacky weather has hampered some of the fishing but we are still finding stripers every time out. We're still in what I would call an early season pattern which is really no pattern at all...some warm stable weather will bring the Stripers into a more predictable feeding pattern. So far we have found fish spread out over an amazing amount of habitat types...from 2 foot deep sand flats to both deep & shallow current washed structure..Pretty cool stuff so far...also I've seen more small stripers this season than in the two past season combined...i'm talking about little 16-18 inch fish....of course we have some bigger fish around too, but it's promising to see multiple year classes of fish working the same areas. Almost two weeks into June and we still haven't had that amazing blitz type action typically associated with late June fishing...We are getting close though..the best fishing will probably start at the end of this week and last straight through into October.
Flies and soft plastics have been working well and in roughly two weeks we will be having slayfest after slayfest when the special season Kennebec rules are lifted on July first...It's nice to have the livewells blacked out with frisky baits, even when fly fishing...turning on stubborn stripers with a handful of live chummers will get your heart racing as fast as the backing leaving your fly reel.
FYI: I have several sets of high quality "Grundens" rain gear for use by my guests...having the right gear will keep you warm and bone dry so you dont have to miss that morning on the water!!!
Still have open dates all through the season but those who fish with me often, know that the dates disappear quickly...make your reservations as soon as you know which dates you want to fish to ensure that you get your time on the water 207-691-0745

Always a treat getting invited to fish with the best local guides. Ears wide open like radar dishes and eyes peeled, like a 6 year old on his first field trip!
