I wish, but I won't be up until September. In a few years, when I RETIRE, I'm moving up permanently. I'll cheer you on all over Maine! Do you cheer in fishing contests??

When I fish, I mostly drown worms, so I always take a good book along.

Good luck.

No worms are harmed in the making of any tournaments. :-) It's all artificials. :-)

I could never get the hang of that, I usually managed to cast right into a tree if I was on the dock and nothing every struck my lure when I was out in the boat. Even with a fish-finder (which I apparently got to keep in the divorce), no luck. Which is OK with me, and probably, more importantly, OK with the fish.

Something I've told new club members when they come out with me-- If you're not getting snagged, you're not casting into the right places! Additionally, there's only a hair's difference between "Nice cast!" and "Aw crap!" That's the good thing about being in the boat on the trolling motor-- you can go to the snag!! I think in the last year, I can count the number of baits I've lost on one hand.
