Maine Striper Fishing / Super Fly Charters

St. George River, Maine - Saltwater Fishing Report
Muscongus Bay & Lower St. George River
George Harris

Yesterday morning we fished all our usual early season "Hot Spots" with nada results...We decided to head down river to fish over the massive schools of Atlantic silversides & Juvie Herring that have Just moved in...Boy did it pay off. As I flew down river I quickly noticed huge flocks of herring gulls buzzing the surface of the water, boils & splashes beneath indicated that a school of stripers were present and all lit up into a feeding frenzy. As we slid into the melee a quick cast with the Sage Xi2 8wt lined with the new Airflo Cold saltwater Ridge line(int.sink) 1 or 2 strips of the tiny chartreuse clouser was all it took before the line came tight with a schoolie bass of around 20 inches. For the next hour or so we bailed the stripers on every other cast, ending up with a severe case of Striper Thumb, which effects many anglers through out the northeast...

Huge schools of juvie herring, silversides, & mackeral(early arrivals) coupled with river chocked full of Alewives means we should be in for one heck of a season.

Reservations continue to come in & I only have a handful of June dates left. Call today to set up a time.
