Maine Striper Fishing Report July 1st, 2015

I knew today was going to be a great day ..the first clue was that Lowe family was fishing with me...for over a decade these guys have charter my boat for multiple trips each summer and each time they step aboard my boat, I just know that something big is coming over the rail...430am Jon & Ben meet me on the boat and we head downriver...first stop...a shallow cove with good current ripping over some ledge...two topwater plugs sail outward from the boat and the guys begin working the lures back to the boat with a zig zag, walk the dog retrieve...neither lure would make it very far...several boils and slaps and both anglers were tight to the first 2 fish of the morning... This would continue for an hr before the current went slack....after a short discussion explaining my game plan and I swung the boat to the west and raced for the horizon faster than American Pharoah's run for glory...we made short work of loading the baitwell with a healthy supply of tinker Mack's...which we put to use by pitching them into the white water at the base of rock promontory....it only took a minute for the fish to find our frisky livies...and for the next two hours we had a steady stream of bent rods!!!
