You’re so close to the coast, I’m sure you can smell it!

 

Let me know if you want to take a ride and fish!? You’re not far away.

Thanks so much for the offer, Where do you head out from?

Kennebunkport.

Looking to improve on the first fishing outing from above this weekend. We're planning on staying within the 60' - 90' contour lines but heading over to some rock piles I charted over the winter looking for some black sea bass and tautog. 

 

The heat wave we had is being replaced by cooler air coming down from Canada which is causing rain and winds coming from the Northeast. We'll be fighting current for sure and I'm hoping the seas stay in the 1-3' range.

 

If we see waves busting Timber Island then we'll try and get out to the end of the beach to calmer waters and will diamond jig for some stripers in the Batson River.

 

Just hoping to fish either way.

I can honestly say that I've never had it, but do hear that they are tasty.

We found Cunner so Tautog should be near by. Stay tuned!

Couple "new to me species" cod last weekend at Boon Island Ledge off the Maine coast. Minke whale sightings were a bonus.

Good deal man! Too bad you couldn't have it at the table, some tasty fish! Especially scrod size.

 

My son and I had a great time ground fishing this year. In addition to cod and pollock, we got sea raven, haddock and cunner. Knowing where the cunner live, we should be able to tie into some tautog. I went back once only to turn around because the seas turn on us. The hurricane season really caught up to us.

 

 

We found schools of mackerel so next year's goal is to fillet the mackerel on board and tip our bucktail's for larger stripers. Looking forward to that!

 

Highlight for us was seeing a thresher shark. I looked at my son and said: "We're gonna need a bigger boat!" 

 

Of course the reference went over his head. ?
