Was casting for stripers several times this weekend and came up empty. I don't think they're arrived in the Kennebec yet. Others have started arriving so the stripers shouldn't be far behind. It's pretty bountiful when they're running. Hopefully by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBeard Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Spawn is starting to wrap up on the Quabbin but the largemouth bite is heating up. Pitching jigs around shallow cover has been fun.

George001 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I have mostly been fishing largemouth recently but want to try going for stripers. I don’t have a boat so I would be fishing off the bank.

greenmtnwx Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Cape cod canal is world renowned for trophy striper fishing from shore. Boats are not allowed to fish the canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Anyone have a recommendation for a surf cast rod/reel combo? ....I have all boat gear currently but my friends boat motor burned a piston last week so it looks like it’s a no go this summer.

They usually offer useful advice. (With the caveat that they make their living selling fishing stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx2fish Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Spent last week up in Pittsburg. Caught a handful of Lakers in the First CT Lake in the 18-22" range. The trophy section of the CT River is low, but fished well. The state stocked a ton of rainbows and bookies into that stretch last Friday. Only downside was more people than usual fishing the river, it was mobbed at times. No huge fish, but a fun trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
