Maine Striper Fishing Report: Super Fly Charters July 5th,2009
Summer Arrives...Finally!!!
(Joe Cloutier & Bill Coppola with a couple of healthy Kennebec River schoolies caught 7/3/09)
Easterly Winds, Rain, Drizzle, Fog...these are all things that Maine Striper fishermem have been dealing with for the last few weeks...ALL THAT IS OVER!!!
Summer has arrived in the midcoast and we should see a huge improvement in our Striper fishery. Bright skies and warm breezes will make our outings all that much more enjoyable. The early morning tides over the next few days should prove to be very good. Low light coupled with low water are two of the pieces of the puzzle that have been bringing it all together lately. We're still finding stripers in the shallows and they're still slapping topwaters fished s-l-o-w-l-y. Make sure to be stealthy when approaching shallow water...the fish are there but if you go charging in...the game is over!!!
Livebaiting over the ledges has been productive as usual!!!...finding the right bait makes all the difference and is definetly worth spending the extra time to secure a good supply of it, the "Super Fly" is outfitted with two massive forty gallon livewells!!!
I still have some good tides available for anyone looking to fish over the next couple of weeks so if you haven't already made your plans...pick up the phone and call us today!!!
If you're looking to fish with us season...please call us soon for available dates!!! We are taking reservations daily. Don't forget to ask about our evening blitz trip...It's becoming a guest favorite!!!

Maine Striper Fishing Blog Report June 28th, 2009
St. George River Stripers light up this morning!!!
Whoever coined the saying "wind from the east, fishing the least" obviously wasn't fishing on the St. George flats this morning. After a slow trip yesterday our Stripers really turned on today...Fishing on the flats today during the bottom of the tide payed off huge. We found big stripers lying in wait in less than 3 feet of water...and lots of them!!! Big, fat, happy Stripers!!! We landed over a dozen chunky fish between 29 and 36 inches and had twice that amount of missed strikes and hook ups...all these fish were very lazy and eating up on top....the highlight was a 36" fish that ate one of my red & white "hollow tail" gurglers. Hopefully what we found this morning will be the new trend.
Most of the fish were caught in less than 3 feet of water and some were caught in as little as a foot and a half. A stealthy drift was critical and the E/NE wind was almost perfect...any course corrections were made with the push pole.
I'm sorry about the lack of pics with the post but the location we were fishing would be too easily revealed...I don't mind sharing info...but I can't give it all away!!!
