Maine Striper Fishing Reports

Jeff's Marine, a full line Parker Boats & Yamaha outboards dealer, nestled on the banks of the St. George River in Thomaston, ME.













Well....
The "Super Fly" is finally decommissioned for the year...winterized & covered. I just picked her up from Jeff's Marine in Thomaston. The expert crew at Jeff's completed all the annual maintenance that helps keep me on the water 140+ days each season. Anything worn or leaking gets replaced...fuel filters...fuel pumps...water pumps...you name it...It all gets replaced...The result of this extensive maintenance program insures that we have very little if any down time during the season.

I'm already looking forward to springtime...Too bad it's going to be a long cold winter!!!

Reservations are starting to come in for the 2009 Maine Striper fishing season...The new tide calendars are out so contact us soon to reserve your favorite tide. Don't forget to Ask about our gift certificates...maybe drop a hint to a loved one!!!

Here's an important message from Brad Burns Stripers Forever:

Dear Striped Bass Fisherman,
Our favorite fish is under more pressure than ever, and Stripers Forever, a free membership, internet-based organization, is fighting to end commercial fishing for wild striped bass and to manage the resource for personal use/recreational fishing. We need as many members as possible to show the politicians how many people depend on striped bass for recreation, food, and income.

Stripers Forever’s only goal is to make striped bass a game fish, which means it would be managed for the benefit of the recreational fishing public, now and for future generations.
