Maine Striper Report July 2012

Sorry for the delay in getting up current reports over the last couple of weeks I have been on the water non stop and their is no end in sight so this will be a brief report!! Striped Bass continue to migrate into the kennebec region...fish ranging from little 16" schoolies to some real brutes...The last several mornings I have been fortunate enough to have some true sight casting conditions on the shallow flats and we have had some pretty explosive hook ups...yesterday we found the stripers to be tightly packed in pretty large groupings (20-100) fish and a bit skittish but not so much that they didn't give us so many perfect shots at them...after an hour of working them with only a few turning towards us...my angler asked if he could throw a noisy popper at them...I suggested that it would probably spook them off the flat and we'd have to move on to the next spot....his first cast..Kaboom....It wasnt the first time that I was proven wrong in the last couple of days!!! There is some good stuff happening for those who appreciate the skinny water challenge...Out in deeper water we're starting to see action by drifting macks over the ledges...this should continue to get better as we move through July into August...Mackerel are super abundant and make for a great day of family fishing..it's a great way to get kids involved in an outdoor activity and away from the video games...plus they are very sporty on ultralight gear!!!
