Maine Striped Bass Double Header
Stripers Forever members – we have a Maine striper fishing double-header to offer at auction! Captain Dave Guerard fishes out of York, Maine, in the estuaries and off the beaches of both southern Maine and New, Hampshire. It has been a long time since we’ve offered a trip down in this very popular area, where striper fishing has held up particularly well. Captain George Harris is out of the Kennebec region, and if you check out the reports on his website, you’ll see some very excellent ones from last season. Both these men are very experienced guides, among Maine’s finest, and you will surely enjoy your trip. Each trip is for auction separately, and I’m sure you’ll be able to get good dates and perhaps even book some other days if you are coming in from out of town. If you bought them both you could make a great Maine striper fishing tour out of it! All the proceeds go to benefit the game fish and conservation efforts of Stripers Forever.
Thank you,
Brad Burns

John Rice Artwork Auction

John Rice- Under Gay Headlight
All three of the paintings attached above are difficult subjects to find a artwork of. The first is a false albacore feeding under terns, the second is Cuttyhunk Bass boat working Martha’s Vineyard’s Devil’s Bridge at night under the beacon Gay Head light. The last is a tired surfcaster resting his butt on a big rock at Squibnocket Beach, Martha’s Vineyard. I’ve sat on that rock myself many times in between sessions at the famed bass stand, muscle bar, and herring run cove. Where will you find such a painting, and without breaking the bank?
Note each painting is being auctioned separately.

Stripers Forever Members– please find attached above one of the most exciting donations SF has ever received. Cape Cod guide Jack Grzyb has gathered together individual donations from some of the most important players in the Bozeman, Montana trout world, and put together a stunning trip with five days of guided fishing for two anglers.
You will fish on exclusive private water, drive around for the week in a Chevrolet Suburban rental, sleep in luxurious surroundings, each be presented with a great fly box stuffed with the needed hot flies, and be guided by some of the area’s finest professionals. Our opening bid is a steep discount off the full retail price for this very popular and in demand fishery.
P.S. After checking out the Montana trip, take a look at the MA Legislative Agenda for 2013. You will see bills that we have just filed for this session of the MA legislature. Any of you who own property in MA may want to do as we have asked our MA members to do, and contact the legislator for the area and ask them to sign on to the bills.
