Guided Striper Fishing: The rain and thunder cleared about 5 minutes before our trip was to launch! The river was a dark muddy mess from the powerful storm churning the water not ideal for any fishing trip! But captain Jay headed down the river a short run and immediately had us on a feeding school of striped bass and when that school of fish was done feeding captain Jay was only a few moments until put us on the next big school! My group was my family a mixed bag of fishing experience but with captain Jay’s help the playing field was leveled, and we were all seasoned Anglers On this trip. How captain jay Maneuvers the boat do the rough currents of the Kennebec flawlessly keeping you on the fish all oh well keeping an eye on his clients to keep them safe and happy awesome job captain!
