Stripers cooperated last night for three great guys from Jersey who battled the weather and nasty sea conditions like troopers. Thanks guys! Great trip!
The first charter of the year was amazing! Spent a very enjoyable morning with a fun, friendly family from Georgia. Donuts were eaten, stories were told and fish were caught. Thanks for a great morning folks!
Present...wait...twitch...hang on!!! Fishing with Capt. Dave Pecci. Epic!
Headed for the mangroves w/ Capt. Dave Pecci and my fishing partner.
Could not be happier to hear this announcement from our good friends at Weaponcraft. This is a great bunch of folks that we are very happy to see flourish!
Weaponcraft is happy to announce that we have completed a deal to purchase the assets of Maine Tactical at 27 Industrial Park Road in Saco including their inventory and very nice retail location with classroom, Simunition training space and indoor range. While the range is only two lanes at present, our long-time goal of a full scale state-of-the-art indoor range by Action Target is one step closer to fruition. Our goal is to move our retail operation into this space as soon as possible. We are working with BATF to move our FFL as quickly as possible. Stay tuned for updates as we improve the space and set up shop. We will be using the classroom, range and training space starting next week! Here are a few pictures of the store, range and classroom as it is now-
Keys fly fishing guide in training. Now all she needs is a flats boat and a willingness to scream at clients.
Casco Bay Classic is under way and we started the day with a big, muscular blue shark. Now we wait for Mr. Mako!
We see a lot of cool stuff out on the water, but it's shark week! So when you see this fin, what does it mean? In this case it means Mola mola, or the gentle ocean sunfish. We hung out with this guy for about twenty minutes. They are very cool, and very curious and can weigh well over 5000 pounds!
The greatest "job" in the world? Okay, I accept that description.
Attention: Always wanted to fish for sharks? We have two open days next week, Thursday 8/14 and Friday 8/15. If you shark charter with us either of those two days and we win the Casco Bay Classic, your trip is free! A full day is $850. Grab some friends and let's go. You will NOT forget it!
Had a great crew of folks from Oakhurst Dairy out today. Lots of fun to have them on the boat, and even managed to boat a fish on a very, very slow fishing day.
Wandered 25 miles offshore in search of blue dogs with this gnarly crew, all of whom are friends. Despite one very tough angler who spent the day providing free chum, we lured enough toothy critters to the boat to make the day successful. Thanks guys for a lot of laughs and an all-around outstanding day!
Spent Saturday with a terrific Maine family in search of stripers. Circle hooks tried to get the best of us, but mom prevailed in bringing in this fat, healthy bass.
Many great trips in the last two weeks. Here are some pics from yesterday's striper trip. We shared many laughs and caught some nice fish. What a wonderful family!
Great family fun trip yesterday! 178 fish came aboard and four young anglers were very happy with their mornings' work. *As a side note, if we could bottle the energy burned by one eight-year-old boy in a half an hour, our national energy issues would be a memory.
F/V NO SHOES is officially signed up for the Casco Bay Classic !
6 delicious lobsters on my first haul of the season...and not one keeper. That's okay. I don't really eat lobster, and I don't really know anyone who would want delicious, free lobster if I were to bring it in anyway.
Fly By Night is back in the water and is very proud of her new clothes. Kim Mariner at Maine Coast Marine Products did an AMAZING job with all new cushions, bolsters and t-top. Thanks so much for all your hard work, Kim!
Seemingly half the charter fleet from South Portland teaches newcomers how to tie shark leaders at one of FPM's favorite events of the year - Saco Bay Tackle's Annual Fishing Seminar. If you like fishing, and you haven't been yet, you're really missing out! We are a strikingly handsome bunch, are we not?
