The biggest disappointment so far this summer has been the striper fishing the most I have had caught on any one trip so far is six and several trips have had none. A far cry from two years ago that is for sure. At the moment I am still hoping that they will show up but it is getting pretty late in the season to hold onto that hope. No one seems to have any explanation but at least it seems to be everywhere on the Maine coast as far as I can gather. Hopefully this is not the beginning of a striper crash like we have endured in the past but I am very fearful that is the case.
Luckily I have excellent freshwater fishing to fall back on so while I still plan to do some striper fishing for the rest of the season I will plan to book more freshwater trips as the season progresses.
