Thanks for the welcome Everyone! PapaJ hope things turn around for you all down there. One thing for us up here that are used to the fun not so much for parts of the country that are not. I also have horses. I know we are very much excited about a 35-40-degree heatwave next week. :) Getting ready for the sap to run and boil up some Maple syrup for the year. Best to you.

Hi Ripogenu, I have not made it there but would certainly like to! So many places in ME and so little time :) I have fished saltwater both charter and in our smaller boat. Went ground fishing last year. Was an interesting time found that dogfish can cause lots of trouble! Our Captain got spiked and took some time for him to be able to have the function of his hand again.

Hi, to all my tight line friends. So excited to find this site fishing folk. I am a born Maine native and have been fishing since I could hold a pole. We fish the 4 seasons and all bodies of water. As with anything, there is always more to learn. I look forward to reading about everyone's tips and experiences may even get to share a few too. :) Was hard to find a picture of me with a fish as I am always the one taking the pictures...HaHa Best Melissa
