Oso started following Bait & Tackle Kennebunkport ME? , 9" sluggo favorite color , Mugs and Plugs and 5 others
-
80squid. For whatever reason we would catch fish 2-1 when comparing that color to white, black and bubblegum. Also fishing southern Maine. 12” tandem rigs, the fish we were catching didn’t like the 9”

What’s up everybody! Hope you all are having a good holiday season so far. I just wanted to plug an event happening (pun intended) this Saturday at Oxbow brewing in Portland. If you guys haven’t seen on social media Mugs and Plugs will be going down from 2-6 pm. There will be a number of custom plug makers, the ASGA will be there answering questions, Capt. Ben Whalley will be tying custom tail flags either on shanks or VMCs, as well as booths from lamiglas and van staal. From 5-6 there will be a screening of the Project Magic Hour film that was premiered this past fall at the saltwater edge in RI. This event is completely free, 21+ without a guardian! Come drink some beers, buy some plugs/a new rod, feel free to bring some stuff to trade as well. Hope to see some of you there!

The water temps could certainly have something to do with it. July was super tough for me & my friends, really working for those bites. In any case, the fishing is just starting to get good for the fall run, im sure it'll be a while until the fat lady sings. Just hoping that it's before deer season starts or I'll have some serious decisions to make...

Do you think it has anything to do with lack of fish in the biomass altogether??

who makes that chartreuse nn-3 needlefish? I just purchased one from another BST and the seller couldn't remember who made it.
-
What day is it??? As you can tell from the beard, its just fishing at this point, nothing else really matters. Beard? shaggy. relationships? failing. business? closed because I'm out fishing. haha in all seriousness, yeah we fished the last couple days. Also thinking of taking the kayak out for one or two last sleigh rides before the season is over.

Hurricane Lee lining up with the September new moon was exactly what we needed to send the bite into overdrive. Had a couple taps last night as well but they were definitely taking it easy. I've been saying it to my friends a couple weeks now, this week was my best fishing all year last year. Given the water temps I fully expect the fish to be here WELL through October. Curious why you guys think chunking hasn't been producing as much as previous years despite there being an abundance of bluefish around?

I'm not sure, mid 40's? My smallest fish of the day was probably 36-37" and this one was considerably larger than that.

Transplant from NJ as well, things definitely take some getting used to, but much less participation here & the ability to get away from people make it a Surfcasters paradise

Not freshies most likely but the brined ones yes -
Had an insane day out there. All on big pencils, pikies & atom 40s from 5am til I got off at 1230 to run into the shop. My buddy went at 3 & it was still going off…definitely one of those days I’ll be day dreaming about this winter.

Tomorrow's surf forecast is intense to say the least. Who's gonna go giver a rip? I'll most certainly be out there getting trashed on the rocks, hopefully it'll be one for the record books. (And I live to tell the tale)

Hey Guys, Thank you all for the kind words, and those of you who've stopped in this season! It has been awesome getting to put the face to some of the names I see on here. Reading this made my day, with being so new to this I often sit here and wonder if I'm doing things wrong or if people are happy with the shop. I'm not trying to become a millionaire, or rip people off, just trying my best to bring in the stuff you guys want to see & be the surf shop we've all longed to have in the area. I have plans to hopefully expand going into next season, I get it a lot of people don't want to deal with Old Orchard crowds, much less the parking situation. Looking to find a spot that can accommodate far more people & open up the capabilities to offer 24/7 bait access. If there's anything you want to see that I don't have, or something you need ordered, don't hesitate to reach out to me. Good luck this fall everyone! Running a big sale labor day weekend, come stock up & save some money while ya do it. -
