Striper fishing in the Saint George River has gotten off to a slow start this year. This week though there have been a few fish to make things interesting. Not the blitz of fish of years gone by but enough to keep me fishing the river.
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).
Every year for the last several Stripers Forever has surveyed its membership about the striper fishery. The results reflect my fishing last summer. (It is nice to know it was not just me or my clients or this corner of the world) You can view the results at this linkon their website. There are a number of interesting comments from anglers up and down the coast.
