Maine Striper Fishing Reports

The last few days we have landed some nice fish on the flats, This fish was taken by Jerry Gibbs on 6-30-08 fishing somewhere in Maine on one of the many mud flats at slack tide. The fish have been holding or laying up in this area for over a week and we have landed 5 fish over 30 largest 37,all on flies, fishing no deeper then 4 ft of water, and nowhere near a river, just weird for June but it works for me. Bottom line many guides and anglers are chasing birds and are only finding Mac's under them, find someone who has a poling platform or push pole, take your time, don't run around and don't blind cast all day, look for a fish to show himself, and go to work good things happen.

Maine stripers

A large school of Pogies is sitting just South of Portland and mixed in are some horse Macs, plenty of smaller stripers are in the Casco Bay area many are holdovers. The pogies to the south are in good numbers for the first time in years,it may take a few more days of light S west winds and a stable weather pattern. For the most part the word on the water from Boston north is it seems a week to 10 days off, we had 5 days of N East winds that killed the water temp. Combine that with lots of bait to the south, the fish are happy where they are. Once the fish do push up to Portland Casco Bay area, there is no need for them to move north for a few weeks!!
The holdovers and schoollies have been active when the tides right and the sun has had a chance to warm the flats in Casco Bay. but not gangbusters yet, give it a week or so.
