Title: Stripers
Post by: fish wayniac on Jun 09, 2018, 02:37 PM

Fished the incoming tide this morning. We couldn’t find the mackerel. I did jig 4 pollack up at the same time. I got 1 striper on a live pollack and 3 more throwing lures. Sean got the biggest at 26”. No keepers but still a good tug.

Keepers or not, those are some healthy looking fish, bet they put up nice fights.  I need to hit the salt this year.

Chi, When the bait stopped biting I took of the sabiki and put on a mac pattern on the jig rod. So yes three stripers put up a good fight on the lighter rod. 😁

I have fond memories as a kid on camping trips of catching pollock and flounder off a bridge in Ogunquit Maine.

  Keep at it.  I'm sure you will get a keeper.

There should be stripers around in Wells. You could surf cast from the beach. To get the grand kids on fish you could fish from the jetty or a pier. You could at least catch mackerel if the stripers are not biting. Do a google search of a tackle shop in that area. They will help you out. When I buy my Resident maine fishing license they ask if you will fish salt water. Yes , gets you registered no extra cost. If you don’t buy a license I think you can go online and register for $2. ???
