"slow fishing" report from Maine
I just returned from fishing southern Maine for 2 weeks. It was the slowest fishing I've had for stripers in 15 years. I threw plugs, lures, bait and flies. I fished every day (and some nights) and landed about 10 fish in 2 weeks. Normally I land 50-80. Also the fish were all between 24" and 35" (inches). In every year past I've landed many more smaller fish in the mix. Maybe it was just the 2 weeks I was fishing. I sure hope it's not a sign of further decline of the bass stocks. By the way, I kept only one fish for dinner. And I had a terrific time trying.
