Posted By: flylineguide Guest Sequin 08-08-2006 16:16 – – – I had a slow day today. Fished the mouth of the Kennebec, out to Sequin all around wood, pond, fox islands. Only caught 6 schoolies. 2 on the beach in the surf, 4 in the seafoam on the islands. More importantly I saw tons of eiders. Older drakes are starting in on their winter plummage. They still have a long way to go yet. Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a waste of motion. Action with vision can change the world! www.flylineguide.com flylineguide@outdrs.net Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor OFFSHORE 08-07-2006 09:25 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Went about 6 miles offshore from the Royal river (was a mile West of the East Cod Ledge bouy) to try for sharks and maybe a tuna. Seas were about 2′ with a 5-10 kt NW.… Continue reading

Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor Southern ME 06-02-2006 09:56 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Went to Saco River yesterday with the boat. It was a beautiful day despite what the wheatherman was calling for. I caught several schoolies on ruber shads and top water baits in the morning on the outgoing tide. Decided to try and find some mackerel and see if the new live well would keep them alive. I fished straight out of the river and ended up loosing a huge club mackerel at the boat. The tide was ripping so I decided to go back in and catch some schoolies and let the tide come to a stand still. went back oout to get some macks. Ended the day with about 10 big ones, (which are being brined for shark and tuna baits) smallest was 10″. Used my home made trees with a… Continue reading

Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor 05-01-2006 19:32 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 60-65 Degrees From mid coast Maine to Hartford CT I have seen pairs of drake mallards chasing a lone hen through the sky and then having there way with her in the water. Amusing to watch. If only ducks stayed together for life, it would be all turned around on the drake. Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor Southern ME 04-26-2006 11:37 – – – I took advantage of some free time and the nice wheather and scouted out an old public stomping ground for turkeys. After pulling off a main road about 100′ and parking the blazer I had located 2 toms within 5o yds of my parked car. I yelped, then listened and heard no response, took 2 steps and heard a gobble. I yelped again to pin point the toms and heard two gobbles. So… Continue reading

Posted By: MUTTLEY Guest Cobscook Bay 01-30-2006 15:26 Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water Went out Saturday 28Jan2006, called the station at 0400 and found out the temp was already 32 deg and only 6 kts gusts, grabbed my CBR and headed out…what an end for the year. Shot 3 old squaws, saw many more, Bucky(CBR pup)finished his first year, wished I could have shot a few more for him 🙂 . Finished the day winterizing the boat, couldn’t have asked for a better day…time for fishing the hardwater, had between 10 and 12 inches of ice on “The Lake” sunday, not a great start, few pearch, but its still early. Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor WINTERIZING YOUR BOAT 01-27-2006 11:50 – – – Well the temps have been low which is good for the ice and the wheather mild for the most part. As I… Continue reading

Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor Scarbourough 11-21-2005 10:07 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 30-34 Degrees – Ice Combat hunting was at it’s best Sat morning. I counted 7 people including the group I was with in a 1/2 mile patch of woods. There was a deer shot 75 yards behind me around 0730. Didn’t even know there was anybody behind me! Ended up haveing a spike walk past about 75 yards on the other side of a swamp. Brush was way to thick. so no shot. Jumped 2 deer while walking trough the same swamp earlier. They are defanitly holding up in the thick stuff. With all the people in the woods I can see why. Haven’t been out for ducks for a while. Trying to chase the deer around. Will go soon. It’s only getting better. This wheather we should be getting Wed/Thurs will help a lot. Posted… Continue reading

Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor Merrymeeting Bay, Brunswick 10-19-2005 14:01 Cloudy, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees It felt as though I hadn’t gone to sleep once the alarm finally went off. I kept waking up at 0130, 0230 and 0330 thinking that I had hit the snooze and just needed to get up and get it over with. Must have been the sickness, I mean anticepation. Was the first at the ramp which is what I like. Once I found my spot and started setting up I heard another boat coming from the launch. Got set up with plenty of time to spare. My pup was driving me crazy. Since he couldn’t see me while setting the decoys he kept wineing. Legal shooting time came and there were not that many ducks in the air. I noticed one hunter just starting to set up about 2 miles from me. Minutes… Continue reading

Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor 05-14-2005 07:50 – – – Well it has been a while for some sort of a report. Last evening I confirmed the rumors of Baldaci giving turkey permits to all who applied in time for the opener. The article can be found on the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website. Next year there will be NO lottery! It’s great to know the turkey population is doing great to support a regular season. The only down side I see are people walking through your set up or setting up to close to you or vise versa. Oh well, It comes with deer and duck hunting. I pulled a permit for Season A and have not been out yet. Have not seen but 3 turkeys this year. On April 4 my wife and I picked up a 6 week old black lab (male). He has since grown to… Continue reading

Posted By: Andrew-White Field Editor Southern Maine 11-17-2004 09:32 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 35-40 Degrees First I want to correct an error on my post from 2 Nov. I reported shooting a drake surf scoter. It was a white winged scoter that I shot. I have yet to even see a surf scoter down here. Have only seen them off of Boothbay and surounding areas. Went sea ducking again yesterday morning. It was not to cold and the winds were light 5 kts or so out of the NE, seas 2-4. It was very dark due to being overcast so I took it slow as I headed towards the mouth of the river. I set up in my usual spot with 2 strings of dekes out(ind blocks). The tide & wind was perfect. Of course the ducks started flying after I had two stings out so I put my… Continue reading
