Captain
Stephen Lachance

Member since March 2026 Falmouth, United States
Background
I am a lifelong angler with experience in fresh and salt water across the northeast and upper mid-west. With over two decades of experience in Maine's Casco Bay, striped bass have become my passion.
Techniques
You will use light inshore spinning tackle to target striped bass most of the time. Both lures and live bait are utilized based on season and conditions. 9-weight flyrods are available and are sometimes the most productive approach for shallow stripers.
