Photo of Maine trout fishing bum, David K with his first Striper on the fly 7-16-2009
We have had some weird fishing the last week or so, weather and tides are a part of it as-well there just a ton of food for them, on Monday we hit the mud flats at first light to find fish marking the surface all around they where keyed into tiny grass shrimp, once again a hollow pattern with a stinger about 25 inches of the back- a small size 4-6 white bait fish pattern and using 12 lb or lighter leaders - we also used this rig to fish the sand flats on the incoming tide in the bright sun, found it was our ticket there untill we switch to a crab pattern the fish came to the crab but we missed a few eats. Today I fished an area I have not fish with a client in over 3 weeks and it produced see pic above. I'm feeling hopfull that the weather stays somewhat humid and stable also I'm looking forward to these tides coming into the new moon.
July 17 2009- Casco Bay fishing report update, It felt like the start of a new Striper season here in Maine today, as we picked up fish at every stop and for the most part all where very bright and loaded with sea lice, looks like we just got another big group of fish into the bay, let's hope for some stable weather.
