When the conditions are right we specialize in sight casting the flats, we also cast our flies, lures and live-bait to powerful tidal rips, eddies, and bold ocean washed ledges. We operate in the mid coast region of Maine from Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay including the mighty Kennebec River, an area covering an astonishing 1000 miles of the Maine Striper coast. We focus our efforts on the Kennebec Watershed also the rocky coast & islands of Muscongus Bay & the untouched saltwater flats & rips of the St. George River.

"Super Fly" ~ Fly of the Month

"Super Fly" ~ Fly of the Month

S.S. Flies ~ Olive "Raghead" Crab ~ The raghead fly, originally designed for Permit & Bones, has been a killer for us when sight casting to Striped Bass around the numerous Mussel bars that fringe many of our shallow flats. We frequently encounter Stripers that are "Tailed Up"...yes Stripers do "tail", like an Abaco Bone or Redfish of Florida's famed Indian River Lagoon, Striped Bass often feed by grubbing around on the mud & eelgrass flats for crabs, shrimp and worms, leaving their tails wagging like flags in the breeze. A well presented fly presented just upcurrent of the "tailing" Striper...slowy crawled along the bottom will usually yield a strike...We've also seen an increase in the number of Winter Flounder caught "On The Fly" when using these smaller crab patterns, additionally. NOTE: for the non-fly anglers a well presented silver dollar sized live green crab pinned to a 1/0 hook or jighead slays "tailing" fish...We always have a good selection of crab flies as well as other crustacean, "Worm Hatch" & other finesse presentation flies in our flybox!!! ~ CHECK BACK SOON FOR THE NEXT "SUPER FLY" OF THE MONTH!!!

Kids "Mackeral Mayhem" Fishing Trips

Kids "Mackeral Mayhem" Fishing Trips

Our kids fishing trips have been extremely popular this season. These trips provide a great way for parents to get their children hooked on saltwater fishing & are a great way to spend some fun & exciting family time together on the water. These trips typically depart late morning, so there is no need to drag the kids out of bed for a "crack of dawn" outing. A typical 4 hr trips usually result in dozen's of hard fighting mackeral caught per child. Other species frequently caught on these trips are Striped Bass, Bluefish & Cod. Harbor Seals & Porpoises are often seen on these trips, Osprey, Bald Eagles & Great Blue Heron too!!!....Please contact us for more details!!!

The "Super Fly"

The "Super Fly"

The "Super Fly" is our fully tricked out Yamaha powered, 21' Parker Special Edition...We're not in Tampa Bay...It's not a "Bay Boat"!!!...We're not in Key West...it's not a "Flats Boat"!!!...We're off the coast of Maine and we need an "SUV" (sport utility vessel)..After running many different boats we've found the Ultimate fly & light tackle skiff for fishing the rugged Maine coast. With it's shallow 10" draft it's great for poling Maine's shallow water flats, A whopping 8'6" beam coupled with two massive 40 gallon livewells make drifting live-bait through gnarly rips a breeze, run & gun topwater Tuna...whatever!!!...the "Super Fly" can handle it with ease & comfort...From Maine to Montauk to the "OBX", Since the 1960's Parker boats have built a legendary following among top east coast guides!!!
