Fishing reports should be used as a general guide. Fishing condtions change on a day to day basis but these reports should give you an overview of what's going on.

Bass fishing pretty good...Bluefins on the way

Unsettled weather ....rain, sun humid, thunderstorms...you name it. Remains of tropical storms galore have kept us from going offshore this week.

Finally the Maine striper season is worth talking about. We have had an influx of bass showing up and some big fish filtering in as well. We are doing well on flies and plugs with pretty aggressive fish. The biggest this week 38" and 25lbs, lot's of nice 7-9lb fish around as well. Water clarity had cleared up and the bait is still around, we have even had big schools of spike macs enter the bay and are now mixed with pogies !! A striper menu to kill for.. I heard of a close to 50lb bass being caught this week on bait... wow nice fish.
The tuna stage is set with bait and good water temps. We need a push of good weather, please god a nice steady weather pattern for next week and we will be in business on the tuna.
-Keep your ear to the wheel and you will be rewarded.


As of now I'm booked solid for July and August. September I have the following dates available:
Sept.1,2,14(great tuna tide),16,17,18,27,28.
**Keep in mind September is "typically" the best fishing of the year for both stripers and tuna**

If you need other dates shoot me an email anyway as something may open or I can hook you up with any of the other guides I work with who are great guys.
