yep, I'm lame. Not one update from the 2017 season? Why? Why was I so bad about updating this blog?
I've thought a bit about it and there are two reasons. First, I hate trying to make this blog perfect. Having other people have to edit is a pain in the beans. From now I am gonna write first and edit later! Seems like that approach is much more apropos for the times. My second reason for not blogging last Summer was even less logical than the first. I did not want to disturb the mojo of our fishing season by writing about it. I was worried I'd jinx us.
Last season, the Striper fishing was excellent and was good from the beginning to the end. Catching fish far into the double digits was the norm for every trip. About 8-10% of all the fish caught were keepers until the tale end of the season. A keeper is 28"+ FYI. Most trips we would catch using a variety of methods from casting artificial to drifting bait along the bottom through current and over ledges.
I am going to keep this short. Maybe later I will add on to it. Maybe I won't. In any case, I am really excited about the season coming up. I've enjoyed quite a few guided trips myself in the past year both here in Maine and down in Florida and I know just how much fun a fishing experience can be. Come on June, I'm ready now.
