Great episode! These fish fight with vigor up here! Learned 2 new things I will incorporate. The float with swivel instead of balloons and de-barbing the sabiki rigs.

[@robertyacoub9705]

Will be on end of Cape Neddick for last week of July. Would love some advice on lures, times and tides for striper surf fishing. Will have a 9’6” Tsunami airwave rated for 3/4-2oz with a Penn Spinfisher 3500 with 30# braid. Thanks.

[@guyinpajamapants6892]

[@monster-pq7ln]

Stripahs and lobstahs

[@slimsammyone]

Whoa! Kittery to Kennebunkport. You saw it all. LOL. Jk.

[@acrylicpangolin]

Wish I could surfcast that spot.

[@pdeedee1699]

How is fall fishing in Maine? I am thinking of doing some surf casting out there.

[@cameronnewbold1611]

Its not great since the fish start to head down pretty earlier. If your're in southern Maine then the season is a bit longer. i'm In Muscongus Bay which is pretty far north. We don't have a very long striper season however last summer was awesome for schoolies. Basically, the farther south, the better and longer the striper season.

[@520angling5]

Cameron Newbold I’m in Georgetown Maine and the striper fishing is awesome from mid June to late September.

[@rockytucker7480]

I live in Maine, u really don't wanna fish much later than sept

[@ttv-noname4me109]

Where abouts is this in Maine?

[@austindahl7841]

What was the rod and reels used in this video?

[@blacklab3668]

St croix Mojo rods and Penn Conflict reels

[@520angling5]

What were the haddock for?

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

We live lined them as well but it didn't produce as well that day. We caught a few smaller fish on them but can only fit so many fish into one episode.

[@tymoughan4514]

First

[@theusconstitution1776]

🇺🇸would you 🤔FEEL🤔 comfortable fishing in a 14 foot aluminum boat with an 8 hp motor in the great bay? DIEING to go fishin❤️

[@nickjaworski0378]

Pete Lasko no I bet that current rips with the 8 foot tide. Maybe a 15 footer with a 20

[@johnlalane6255]

If I hear "spawt" one more time....

[@lmaoDDDDD]

Let's be honest Maine's saltwater game is WEAK, without a boat you've got 1 species, and nothing big, with a boat you still don't have much more options.

[@520angling5]

Even though maine is my favorite state in the world I do 100% agree

[@brandom5138]

Just got back from Maine and confirm this is true, I don’t think I’ll be saltwater fishing from shore in Maine again

[@520angling5]

Brando Mac I mean it depends. I caught 8 stripers off my dock yesterday in maine. You really have to understand it and maine can actually be a hot spot in New England for the fishing if you know what you’re doing.

[@520angling5]

Yeah bro I mean I just caught a 35 inch striper from my dock last night and also about 35 - 40 stripers since I’ve got here a little under a month ago. Come up here every summer and each year it gets better.

[@520angling5]

E R can you give me information on bluefishing in maine? I am trying to catch them but no luck whenever they come up.
