Glorious Fall

This is the season I look forward to all year. Cool nights and warm days with nowhere enough rain in the forecast. Mornings can be very foggy but it is usually gone by 9 leaving a clear sky and bright sunshine.

The spectacular early fall weather continues. Our days have been picture perfect. Bright sunshine, little wind and temperatures around 70. As you can see the leaves have started to change and that will only get better for the next few weeks.

Yesterday I guided a fisherman in the morning and a scenic trip in the afternoon. Both in near perfect conditions but it was interesting to note that at this early stage in the color change that it is much more impressive when you are up close, rather than at a distance. Something about it being more personal and impressive when you are only a few yards away.

Loons have begun to migrate to the salt water and are sometimes in flocks where the fishing is good like the bunch in this picture. Loons are normally almost solitary but in the early fall small flocks are almost the norm in this area.

Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to the next few weeks on the water and the normal improvement in the fishing as cooler temperatures begin to prevail.

Feel free to write or call to make your reservation to create some outdoor memories or make one online here to enjoy some time on the water in the fall season!

This past summer, the picturesque mid coast played host to an exciting partnership: Eben, a bright and enthusiastic intern, joined the Maine Outdoors team. As part of the Maine Tourism Association’s workforce development program, Tourism for ME, Eben’s internship promised adventure, learning, and a chance to experience the state’s vibrant outdoor industry.

Eben, a fishing enthusiast and aspiring guide, brought boundless energy and curiosity to the role.

Maine Outdoors provides outdoor recreation and sustainable tourism for families and beginners. Eben was welcomed with open arms as part of the team. Behind Eben’s internship stood the Maine Tourism Association’s commitment to nurturing talent. By bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world experience, they aimed to create a pipeline of skilled professionals who would staff Maine’s tourism industry. Eben’s journey exemplified this vision, blending education, passion, and purpose.

And now, the pièce de résistance: the video documenting Eben’s summer internship. With sweeping drone shots, candid interviews, and breathtaking vistas, it encapsulated the essence of Eben’s adventure.
