Striped Bass fishing the flats of Casco Bay

In 2008 John Frazier of Saltwater Sportsman Magazine did an article called the Maine Event- Fish for stripers the unconventional way- on the flats. This Past fall, during one of the strongest cold fronts of the season, we set out with Sportfish TV to do a follow up for there TV show on Versus- Check it out.
VERSUS -MAINE EVENT – SKINNY WATER STRIPERS Date 2/13/10 and 2/19/10 airtime 12:30 and 6:30 pm
*** Thanks for all the positive feedback on the show <"))))><

I watched the forecast for the week, and I wonder is this going to be worth it, the Host of the show Dean Travis Clarke was driving up towing a 17 ft Yellow Fin flats skiff one of the shows sponsors, so there was no way we where going to be using my flats skiff, a new skiff, temp drop of 25 degrees, wind gusting to 30 out of the northeast and some frozen Floridian boys trying to film, I thought shit, I would love to take this day off - we stuck it out and found fish in areas I have not fished in years, had one of the most incredible sun-sets and met some new friends. In the end it proved what permit guides already knows, working hard long days in the wind to picky bigger fish, often pay-off!!!!!

Just watched the Striper segment on VS. Nice work Eric!

Looked a bit chilly but fun. I didn't know much about the conservation issues facing the Striper fishery in the NE. Eric you did a good job briefly describing some of the issues.
