Maine Striper Fishing Report June 23rd 2015

After a year of planning this trip with Texas fishing guide, Bob Maindelle, the day finally arrived. Bob met me on the dock and we untied the boat that I had loaded with a small arsenal of fly & light tackle gear. The tide really hadn't started to move yet so I ran to check on a back water spot that's been holding good numbers of fish...not surprising that the fish here weren't active with very little current flow so I fired up the engine and made a run down the Kennebec to find some moving water... It only took a few moments to find what we were searching for, hungry stripers feeding on the surface...Bob grabbed a light spinning rod and immediately had stripers blowing up on his surface plug. For the next 4 hrs we had steady action with stripers to 29" and finished the morning with 18 stripers to the boat before being chased off the water by heavy rain and an approaching thunderstorm. Overall another great morning on the Kennebec with a great guy!!
