The last week has been very busy for June, almost all of the trips were fishing with families. We have been on a few different local ponds and even down 
onto the saltwater for mackerel. The wildlife sightings have been a great addition to each trip.
A family on a family fishing trip last week was treated to an eagle picking up a fish very close to the boat. Actually he missed on the first pass swung right back and picked up a big shiner on the second pass not twenty five feet from the boat! Of course I was completely flatfooted with my camera not even turned on. As luck would have it though my client got a photo with his phone that I was sort of proud of.
I often write about how frequently we see eagles and ospreys on various trips and that they are almost always part of the early season striper fishing mix. Yesterday afternoon really made that point. Capt. George Harris of Superfly Charters and I were fishing on the Saint George between Thomaston Harbor and Warren Village checking to see if the stripers had arrived yet (nope).
