This morning marked my first mackerel fishing trip of the summer. Well no that is actually wrong it was the first wildlife watching trip where we caught a few mackerel. It was grey and chilly on the way down the Saint George River with only a slight breeze out of the east. With calm seas and cloudy skies the visibility was excellent and there was a lot to see.
I consider being able to customize various fishing and nature trips one of the real advantages that Maine Outdoors has to offer. Every trip is tailored to the interests and desires of the folks that are on it.
One of the projects I have been working on this winter as part of my being Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association is the formation of a coalition of outdoor sporting groups. Not an easy task to be sure but one that is clearly needed to protect our natural resources going forward, especially given the dire condition of our state budget over the next few years. We had one large meeting in April and a small steering comittee meeting in May with lots of positive energy for making the effort work.
