Stripers are here!

Just a quick report. I got a call from a friend working on one of the oyster farms in the Damariscotta River to tell me that a school of stripers was chasing bait all around him yesterday on the going tide. No doubt about it they are here, he is someone who knows what he is seeing. The Damariscotta is to the west of me for sure but not very far. I can’t get on the river today (meetings!) but plan to be on the Saint George tomorrow morning to confirm the fact. Let the season begin!
