Maine Striper Fishing April 2011

About Photo- Capt John Ford and I both cancelled trips due to wind gust up to 30kts.
But decided to give it a go anyhow, in 2 ft water 25 mph winds, John had all the fun while I poled the the boat, fall 2010 will be remembered for it's wind,but I guess it did not bother this fish,,


If you Spend anytime Striper Fishing in Maine, Please Try to make it to the CCA- Maine annual Meeting, over the last year or so I have watched CCA Maine take what seems to me a new direction, and what I see I like!!! We are going to need a voice or a least try to be our own voice with the new DMR commisoner not really showing any understanding of the Recerational Striped Bass fishing here in Maine, Do I have to remind you that He made Maine the only state to vote with Virgina on the Poggie issue, just last month!!! Add into the proposed backwards fishery management on the kennebec - opening it up to more pressure during spawning season
And you can see we are going have to dig in our heels over the next few years!!! Hope to See you There!!!!!
