Who was your guide? From your brief description, I think I might know him.

Nice fish. Which pond?
Roberts Pond in Lyman. It's connected with Wadleigh Pond, which I have also fished, but I prefer Roberts. Only accessible by carry in.
I freely admit that I am a fair weather fisherman, and the weather this year in Maine has kept me off the water a lot. The past week, however, has been great so I went out this morning, mostly to relax and maybe catch something. As you can see, the pond was flat calm and hardly a cloud to be seen - not the kind of day that would cause me to expect a lot of action. I was right. I did, however, manage to land three in 2.5 hrs of fishing. Nothing very big. The picture shows the best of the bunch.

What is the best tide for surf fishing??
That's a good question with no good answer. I've fished different areas on the Maine coast. Here in the Kennebunk area, half tide going seems to be best. Down east, in Rockland/Thomaston, half tide coming gets better results. My philosophy is, if you have a free moment, go fishing.

Nothing is more therapeutic than drinking imaginary tea.
That may not be against the law, but it sure ain't smart.
This is the memorial in Rockland for the SS El Faro, done by Jay Sawyer recently.
Do you use a boat or walk in through one of the gates? I used to fish gate 16 a lot.

Hoping someone can help me find some place to go Saltwater fishing in New Hampshire and Maine that is wheelchair accessible.
Thanks
Some of Maine state parks have beach wheelchairs available on a first come first served basis. I don't know if there's a charge.

I left you a text message yesterday on your phone with some ideas. You can call or pm me for specifics. I may try shore fishing a few places also.
My phone situation is complicated at the moment and I can't receive texts. Can you DM me?
Good info Smitty. All those spots are 1+ hours from me, so I was hesitant to venture out without a specific destination in mind. I might give it a shot now. Thanks.
I'm looking for shore fishing spots for stripers. I know of a few, but most places have limited parking, or there's an unreasonable fee. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've had mediocre luck so far this season, so I thought I'd post an old picture I took a few years ago. Brian was a fishing buddy of mine from the U.K. who used to come to Maine every summer. One day, he showed up at my house in the middle of a raging thunderstorm and asked if I wanted to go fishing. I called him Mad Dog from then on.
Here's a picture of him and his nephew, Jake on a calmer day out.
