Army buddy from the 70's, many years ago, invited the wife and I up to do a little bass fishing. My first time to Maine, what a beautiful place. With a short trip over to N.H. What a great time we had. Cool 50's in the am warming up to the mid 70" s. Believe I've found A summer hideaway. A few pics attached.

Glad you had a great time here in Maine. Did your buddy get you onto any slabs? There are some nice ones around.
No he didn't, he's not real familiar with crappie but sure my was with the bass, smallmouth and large, which the small mouth was a treat because we had never fished for them.Quote:

Nice! Maine is beautiful! My wife and I took a road trip 2 years ago peeping, didn’t fish but enjoyed it. First time I’ve ever seen the ocean!

I love Maine, in the summer anyway :).. All the wife's family is from there and we usually try and make a trip up at least every other year. Hoping to take one later this month, just depends on how much work gets in the way. Great pics!!
Awsome, we only stayed 1 week so hopefully 2 next time.Quote:

Good to see you and Laura are enjoying retirement! Love Maine, first time there was before I could drive, went to Boothbay Harbor on a Cod fishing Charter with my Grandfather and Uncle.
After I got married took my wife there a couple more times, hard to beat the beauty of the Fall Foliage. Used to eat at the lobster Co-ops and have Fresh Lobster, corn on the cob and Salt taters! Yum! Yum!
Yeah, those smallmouths fight a lot harder than a largemouth, don't they?
Hey Marv good to hear from you. Retirement is great, can't complain. Yes a beautiful place. The sm are good fighters. We had fresh lobster and clams the last night there. So good. Attachment 348037Attachment 348038Quote:

Congrats on taking the retirement trip to Maine. Maine is no doubt a beautiful state that is rich with wildlife and some awesome inland and coastal fisheries too.
Thanks for sharing your trip and the pics with the rest of us.
Great post and pics. Looked awesome. How many people for those lobsters. One of my biggest bucket list items to do is to eat lobster in Maine. Where were you when you ate them? I've been fortunate to catch small mouth here on Pickwick Lake in Tn.
Thanks, they're were 6 of us gathered togethet. We started off with 5 lbs of clams, steamed, I tried not to eat to many, leave plenty of room for lobster, clams were so good dipped in butter, those were mostly 2 lb lobster, with a few smaller ones just in case. They insisted I eat 2, man was I full, not much for sides, just salad and rolls. We were in the small town of Bethel. Seafood was pre ordered and delivered to a nearby town were they come and setup every Thursday. Quite the experience, hope you get the opportunity. I want forget it, hope to go back soon.Quote:
