June 1, 2014

          Boothbay Harbor is filled with jellyfish and little else.  Water Temps are still below 50 degrees in many places.  The Sheepscot had water temps of 45.  As a result, we are still waiting for Mackerel to arrive.  Ev and I fished several reliable Mac spots in good conditions and found nothing.
         However, in just a short time upriver near Bath, the Boy(Evan) caught our first Stripers of the year.
 Spread out, on several Mud flats, we found some Stripers enjoying some 57 degree water.  Ev caught his fish on plastic gummies he is learning to cast. We did not catch fish on every cast  but it was good enough.
           Overall it feels to me like the fishing is just a bit behind where it was last year.  I predict that coming next weekend I will be singing a different tune.
