Kennebec River Striped Bass Fishing With Super Fly Charters
This morning saw the weather shift from the mildly warm with bright blues skies kinda days, you know...Classic Chamber of Commerce type weather...to dark skies and wet rainy weather with an easterly wind component....whoever coined the phrase "wind from the east fishing the least" forgot to send that memo to the Stripers!!! Despite this negative shift in weather, John Fielding from Virginia decided that he wanted to go Striper fishing...We met at the dock in Bath at 5:30am this morning, We donned our foul weather gear and shoved off for an early morning run down the Kennebec river...I had planned to fish some flats that have been somewhat productive, not oh my god good, but steady fishing...The last of the incoming and first of the outgoing tides proved to be pretty bleak...bait was popping up here and there and there were sporadic bird shows...but no linsiders...no hits...no follows...and simply no luck!!! I think that at that point...John might have been thinking about calling it quits...I had another plan though...the outgoing tide was starting to build steam so I blasted a few miles upriver, chasing the tide...My first stop of the second half of the trip was just what the doctor had ordered for a wet, cold morning...A tight line and a 30" striper...Amazing how one fish can completely re-energize you!!!...second drift....another fish....then another fish...a mini blitz erupted and John got tight to another fish after he cast into the melee...after that...the fish became wise to our ways...so off we went, once again chasing the tide...next stop...same result fish on the first drift...a double header in fact...Just like that our trip turned from skunkfest to slayfest...Tenacity and perseverance as well as our knowledge of the tides and how they flow over structure paid off once again...."A Graceful Recovery" Enabled Us To End The Trip With A BANG!!! Looking forward to getting John & his son Jack out on the water again in a couple of weeksGive us a call on the Maine Striper Hotline to make arrangements for a guided saltwater fishing trip on Maine's famed Kennebec river 207-691-0745

Kennebec River Striper Fishing With Capt George Harris & Super Fly Charters: Saltwater Report June 22nd, 2011
Maine Striper fishing report June 22nd, 2011
Today I had repeat client Herb Stackhouse and his guest Greg aboard...fishing was noticably slower today than yesterdays bailfests....We were over fish all morning long....but they were very finicky as we worked the rips for awhile before cruising to a grassflat to catch the bottom of the outgoing...arriving on the scene we were greeted by a school of stripers pounding bait in 2 feet of water...It was very exciting & getting a hook up should have been easy but the opposite proved true...follows and missed strikes kept us interested for a while...we were throwing surface plugs and soft plastics but the bass were finicky as they munched on Juvie herring..come July 1st I intend to settle a score with those fish by freeling sardines to them...a meal that wont be refused...we worked that area pretty well before shifting our attention back to the rips to slam a few slot sized fish!!! Back at it tomorrow!!!
Super Fly Charters is one of the very few full time saltwater fly & light tackle guide services operating on the Maine coast that is on the water everyday...and we have the fish dialed in!!!..That's a pretty important thing to consider when choosing a guide to fish with for the first time!!!

Maine Striper Fishing With Capt George Harris & Super Fly Charters: Kennebec Report June 21st, 2011
Maine Schoolie Striped Bass Were Going Bonkers This Morning 6/21/11This morning I had Chris Ferguson and some of his relatives aboard for some fun family reunion Striper fishing on Maine's Kennebec river...leaving the dock at 6:30am to catch the best of an outgoing tide...we quickly landed on a school of feeding stripers...mainly schoolie size slot fish 22-26 inches...drift after drift through the shoreline current seams resulted in bent rods and happy anglers...this continued for the better part of an hr before we blasted downriver to hammer on a few fish that were cruising the sand flats in 2' of water...While some anglers are continuing to struggle and are teetering on the edge of insanity...we make simple adjustments to score fish when most fishermen find it nearly impossible to get the hook ups...simple, methodical tactics that just plain work!!!All in All, Just another great day on the Kennebec!! July is approaching rapidly and that is going to open the door to some amazing days on the water...the special season ends July 1st and we'll be filling the livewells with Herring and Mackeral for some tremendous action live lining and carolina rigging the deeper rips & ledges. Early morning and later in the evenings will give the best results for fly rod action...and we might get some good sight casting opportunities up on the sand flats...stay tuned as the reports will continue to get better as the season moves forward!!!
GOOD TIMES ARE AHEAD!!!

Maine Striper Fishing With Capt George Harris & Super Fly Charters: Kennebec Report June 19th, 2011
Maine Striper Fishing Reports Hotline 207-691-0745 A cold front moving through left the fishing predictably slower today but we still managed to find the fish!!!...Shawn Moore from Maryland met me at the dock at 4:30 this morning...bait was showing everywhere but the fish were lockjawed for most of the morning...near the bottom of the tide I switched gears from working the edges of the flats to working a deep rip...the adjustment paid off and Shawn was a happy camper as he boated his first Maine Striper. I won't say it was easy fishing today but we got it done!!!
My calendar is filling up quickly...so if you are looking to do some fishing with me this season...stop hitting the snooze button and pick up the phone!!! I have tomorrow morning open but the rest of the week is looking to be busy...some good evening tides are available and the sundown fishing this week should be very productive.

Maine Striper Fishing With Capt George Harris & Super Fly Charters: Kennebec Report June 16, 2011
Striper Fishing On the Kennebec Flats Producing Good Numbers Right Now!!!
This morning I had the Thayer family aboard...Lee, Eric & Matt from St. Louis...after some arm twisting I convinced them to meet me at the dock in Bath at 4:30 am...after pushing off from the dock, we made a beeline for some grass flats that had a good ripping outbound tide washing over it...arriving on the scene, I was all smiles as I watched a school of herring being ripped to shreds...I had two of my anglers pitching topwater plugs...the third a small soft plastic jig...
It took all of one cast before the stripers started exploding on the topwater plugs in shallow water...slaps, smashes and boils would erupt around the plugs on nearly every cast...this would continue for more than an hour before another group of anglers came ripping in on a flats boat and unfortunately all but shut down that bite...I know that I don't have some secret stealth technology surrounding my boat but One would think that if i can be stealthy enough in my 21 parker to sneak along in shallow water...that someone equipped with a lightweight poling skiff designed for shallow water flats fishing would be able to do so with ease or at least have enough sense not to run their engine in 2 feet of water??? The bad behavior has begun already and we're only halfway through June...no big deal though my anglers were quite content with our start...off we went to the next flat only to be greeted by the same type action...this pattern would be repeated till the tide went slack...as the tide just started to turn I decided to try one last spot...the edge of an expansive flat bordered by a steep drop off...right away fish started popping to the surface...a couple of triple hook ups later and my anglers decided that this would be a great way to end the trip...so I reluctantly returned them to the dock...
Mixed saltwater fishing reports are coming in from Portland & Greater Casco Bay, Saco Bay and the rest of the Maine coast...With stable summer weather on the horizon...it's safe to say that it's going to be a productive season

Maine Striper Fishing Reports With Capt George Harris & Super Fly Charters
Maine Striper Fishing Guided Trip Reports
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

Maine Striper Fishing Kennebec River With Super Fly Charters: June 9th, 2011
Fishing For Striped Bass on Maine's Kennebec River Improving Daily!!!
One week into June and we are seeing good numbers of Stripers cruising the flats of the Kennebec region...today we had upper slot sized fish working the shallows in as little as 2 feet deep...the end of the out going has been decent...Still haven't had that OMG they're chewing holes in the boat kind of day...but I'm liking what I'm seeing!!!
Offshore/Nearshore we are catching good numbers of Cod...mostly smaller stuff but loads of action..Mackerel have invaded the mid coast region so break out the ultra light gear and go have a blast fishing for these little speedsters. As we move into the later part of June we will see an influx of stripers pour into the Kennebec..By the first of July we should be enjoying some serious slayfests!!!
Reports from Casco Bay, Saco Bay and southern Maine indicate sporadic action which is very typical of early season fishing...By fathers day weekend the coast of Maine from the Kennebec south should be offering predictable inshore saltwater fishing conditions.
Reservations continue to come in daily and it's looking to be another extremely busy fishing season for us here at Super Fly Charters...Please give us a call to insure you get the dates that you are looking for. 207-691-0745

Maine Striper Fishing: Super Fly Charters ~ Saltwater Guide Service ~ May 11th, 2011
They're Here!!! Striped Bass have arrived back on the Maine coast...Right on Schedule!!!
It's true!!! Stripers are beginning their migration into Maine waters...Best bets for early season fishing is going to be in the estuaries...these areas warm up faster and hold loads of forage for the hungry migrating Striped Bass. Areas that harbor herring runs are magnets for Stripers....alewives and blueback herring make for easy high calorie meals and are the go to food source early in the game... We use a variety of fly & light tackle techniques to target stripers...Big herring deceiver flies, soft plastics and topwater plugs work well this time of year. Live lining herring will score you some of the best fish of the year...To help protect the native spawning Kennebec river stripers, The use of natural bait is off limits on the Kennebec watershed till July 1st, but the rest of the Maine coast is fair game to livebaiting.
Here at Super Fly Charters, our season is about to kick off very soon...but might be held up due to a possible week long fishing trip to Key West..If the Stripers arrive in big numbers...that trip will be put on hold.
If you're looking to get out on the water for some early season action...give us a call 207-691-0745...Reservations are continuing to come in for the 2011 Maine saltwater fishing season...Many anglers are already booking trips as far out as September to insure that they get the prime dates. We do multi trips each day based on the ebb and flow of the tides so don't worry we have still have lots of availability...As of right now we are scheduled to begin our season sometime in May...Once we have the boat ready to go, we'll begin doing groundfish trips and based on the availability of early migrating Stripers we'll be focusing on the prolific herring runs that occur on many of our tidal rivers.
Striper fishing in the Maine during the month of May can be hit or miss but when the bite is on, we can help cure your case of cabin fever with an early season slayfest...once June rolls around it'll be game on for 150+ straight days...Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bluefin Tuna, Cod, Mackerel & Sharks will all get your much deserved attention...
I also have some availability for some carp fishing later this month...Most of this fishing takes place on the shallow flats of Merrymeeting Bay...but we also have some Carp grounds on the Kennebec watershed in that for the most part are virtually untouched by anglers...if you'd like to give this "rough" fishing a try give us a call!!!
Sooo...if you have a date in mind that you'd like to reserve, please give us a jingle to insure that you get a chance to participate in what's going to be another great fishing season on the beautiful coast of Maine....also be sure to browse through our Maine saltwater fishing reports archives to read our day by day, month by month reports....we have hundreds of great pictures that back up our daily fishing reports...

Sooo...if you have a date in mind that you'd like to reserve, please give us a jingle to insure that you get a chance to participate in what's going to be another great fishing season on the beautiful coast of Maine....also be sure to browse through our Maine saltwater fishing reports archives to read our day by day, month by month reports....we have hundreds of great pictures that back up our daily fishing reports...
