http://www.arundelbarnplayhouse.com/ It's July already and Stripers are in the water, Striped Bass that is. People in town have been landing them left and right. May is usually the month the striped bass start to head into Maine seas. They come in schools (lots of small fish) often referred to as "schoolies". Now in July those "schoolies" have started to grow and are now Big Fish.
Rules and regulations about fishing for striped bass: The limit is one fish per day. The length allowed to keep is 20 inches to 26 inches, those are what we like to call "keepers". Also any striped bass over 40 inches are allowed to be kept, still one per day though. Once you have caught your limit of one fish per person per day, you may keep fishing but all other fish caught must be released. There is more information available at http://www.maine.gov/dmr. And for more information about abtaining a fishing license you can visit http://www.countmyfish.org/ or at http://www.maine.gov/ifw.
Information about various charters in the area can be obtained here at the King's Port Inn, located in the center of Lower Village Kennebunk / Kennebunkport. The King's Port Inn is just minutes walking to some of the best fishing spots in town. A couple great places to try throwing in a line are the Jetti at the Colony Beach, the Cape Porpoise Pier, or anywhere just off the ocean shore. Here's a helpful hint, they like to stay near the rocks. Lots of luck ! The Sun has arrived and it's time to get out and enjoy the water. The next two months here in Maine are spent taking full advantage of our beautiful ocean front beaches. Located just one mile from us here at the King's Port Inn we are within walking distance of 2 miles of some of the best ocean views in all of Maine.
The Sun is out and what better way to spend the day than soaking up some rays at the beach. Whether it's building a sandcastle with the kids, curling up with a good book, or just jumping in the water to beatthe heat, the beach is the place to be.
While in town enjoying the fine sands take a load off and come relax at the King's Port Inn. We have Luxury King Suite with two person marble Jacuzzi available. Or if traveling with the family we have rooms with two queen beds as well.
