Finalizing my Maine vacation in Boothbay and now...

[chrisrack]

I'm looking for a recommendation of a local fishing guide in this area. Or, if any locals in the BB area are heading out on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and would like the additional company of a Chesapeake native for a few hours of fishing, please lety me know this as well.

I won't be able to partake in a 8-10 hr fishing trip as my wife and son will be in Maine as well (this is a family vacation after all) but I should be able to get permission to fish for 4-6 hrs anyway. But, like I said, the name and telephone# of a local guide would be much appreciated or to any local who has a boat and an extra fishing spot available.

And thanks to all who provided assistance in our planning of this vacation throught THT in the following thread, especially to Mark (Odonalone):

Thanks

Have fun!

Boothbay is a bit further north than my typical stomping grounds along the Maine coast, but try George Harris:

You are a few miles noth of my stomping grounds as well. If you don't mind a quick jaunt 15 miles south I would highly recommend:

Peter and Gordon are great guys (although they have yet to buy a boat from us!) - the kind of people you can really enjoy on the water - intelligent, interesting, informative, modest.

I believe also that you can do a two boat trip and the wife and kids can do a lighthouse and bald eagle tour of the Kennebec River - Really beautiful. Both men are educators and can help your family to understand as well as enjoy that great river and its wildlife and history.

Hope that you have a nice vacation and that the weather is good. Welcome to Maine.

Second the Peter and Gordon thing. Codfisher and I as well as Dale (Miss Teak) and his brother did a trip with them 2 years ago. They can mix it up AND involve the rest of your party.

Jay, At least they are in alloy boats.

Chris - I was just up there and there are many guides in the area. Just stop by any local Inn or swing by the Marinas. I do remember seeing several posted and also in the info packets in the lobby.
