Sounds like a great trip. I really like eldridge Bros shop. Always forthcoming with descent advice. I've been fishing Maine stripers for 15 years now. Almost always surf and tidal rivers. I hit the surf with chunk and clams...and plugs when the action is there. I hit the tidal rivers with my fly rod mostly. Little sand eel, crab and shrimp imitations work best. I can fish the same run 3 days without a hit and on the fourth, with some rain, catch 6. Usually just small 20 to 28 inches but have lucked into some 30 plus inchers. I know that's small on this board, but it makes my day. I'm used to cathching 12" trout. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Oh yeah, best fresh fried clams are at this joint right outside of Kittery...used to be called the Line House, same stuff but don't know the new name...main drag 5 mins outside of kittery north next to a tidal river.
