we were out fpr Striper and had booked a 6 hour trip. captain Owen is a great guy who loves his job. The bist is old but does what it was designed for. we stayed in the Saco River, I think the biat is nitvmade for the sea.
we saw and found a lot if fish, but they were not hungry at all. The equipment was a little bit poor, we only had a handfull of artifical bait. after 3 hours of catching nothing Capt. Owen suggested to resumw the trip on an other day whichvwas an great offer. 1.5 weeks later we went out for the second half of our trip.
it started as the other ended. Saw a lot of fish but caught nothing. Then we switched to Makarels on the right spot an we had two abolutely great hours. many bites, for sure some stripers, but we did nit get them. Then a hard bite, Striper? No a 30 inch monster of an eel. At the end we got 4 eel. seeing the joy of Capt. Owen during the whoke trip was heartwarming.
thank you for the great time. for us catching eel was very, very special.
best regards Tobias & Lukas
