Maine Striper Fishing Report June 14th, 2013

We have been on quite a roll lately and todays trip would raise the bar even higher...This morning after having a party of 4 decide that they wanted to sleep in rather than fish I reached out to my good friend Ray who has fished many times and we put a game plan together...Hopping aboard the boat before the sun came up we hammered down the Kennebec river and out the into the glass calm Atlantic ocean in search of mackerel to use as live baits...After a lit bit of roaming we had what we needed for the day...With the live well filled with frisky macks we made a short run to a sandy shallow cove bordered by jagged outcropping of rock...the first strike did not take long as a large Striper started zinging out line on my reel as it inhaled my mackerel and the circle hook found a solid purchase right in the corner of the fishes mouth Fish #2 joined us seconds later as the twin to my fish freight trained Ray's poor mackerel into oblivion...The first of many double hookups...we hung around this spot for a bit longer which yielded us several explosive strikes but no fish to the boat so off we went on the hunt. It didnt take long to get back on the fish...Again, my livie was the first one to get drilled by a large Striper & Ray, not wanting to be left out promptly began putting the boots to his own fish!! Many, many more fish stood in line to play tug-o-war with us before both of us agreed that we were content with our effort. What a spectacular morning of fishing!!
