Guess what? I went to Sandy Shores on the Saco yesterday on the last of the dropping tide. Saw some comotion on the surface down by a rocky point. I motored over and cast a large herring pattern to where the disturbance was. Stripped once,twice, three times and wham major league hookup. Fought the fish in the heavy current for a solid 10 minutes. Finally got the beast to the boat and what do you think I had? Well I'll tell you. It wasn't a schoolie, it wasn't a 40" striper, It was a 9.75lb. 29" sea r un Brown Trout!!! This was the first brown I've ever caught on the Saco. I was a little dissapointed that it wasn't a striper but I was pretty darned happy with the brown trout. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera so no pictures but I did release the brown for someone elses enjoyment. Still looking for the years first striper. Ther are reports of fish in the Saco, but I believe these are resident stripers that hold over all winter in the Saco. There aren't many of these around so i guess we'll just have to wait for the runs to begin. Mal
got some!!
