Blue fish showed up and feed hard on the large pogies, then we would find them schooled up on flats near the edges of eel grass beds and warmer mud. Blues being blues are always willing to eat a fly if there not spooked, Tim did a great job keeping his body and cast low and droping the line light in some skinny water to get the eat.
This Fish Was caught by Jerry Gibbs who is also taking the Photo in Late June of 2008, Bigger fish had moved in the bay feeding hard on pogies then drifting around the warmer flats to digest. This fish ate the fly in about 18 inches of water about 200 ft from deep water, Jerry had fun with that fight!!!!

Sweet Fish!
Any luck in Broad Cove? I saw a ton of Pogey's schooling with only a few large splashes. Tide was on it's way out and the sun was setting. water was 57 degrees. No love
Tough few days this week. I've been chops to the mouth on K'bec. Sasanoa and Hockamock. Sm Pt, New Meadows, Ragged, Quahog. Harraseeket and Royal mouth. Like everyone's saying, big schools of pogies, which are very cool to see, but no one underneath. Plenty of mackerel everywhere.
Water temps 61 at Ragged, 68 upriver of Bath, 64ish generally in normal spots.
Very few stripers. No sign of blues.
This is weird. What is up?
Guys are you fishing like like a normal June or Early July - Chasing or looking for birds and surface feeds good luck, I'm not seeing them either. But the deal is there are a lot of nice fish around showing them selfs at low tide and early AM, The brit herring is hanging in the grass on the mudflats and the stripers are having there way with them when needed, In the last 6 day we have boated 16 fish over 25 and the largest 37 I'm not going into detail on where on a public form as many guides from other areas are showing up in Casco Bay running around and I rather not discuss where I fish you can always call me if you what more details, but my biggest suggestion is to start fishing like it's August try the stops you fish in late season slow down look into the water not at the surface and you will find fish in lower Casco Bay, to the North still very very slow I'm told by some very good anglers.
