Gusto, er a Derek!!! <img src="/Images/Tounge_Wink_Face.gif"><!--e5--> My Maine fishing experience would put you at Camp Ellis (south of OOB). There is a jetty that runs along the ne side of the Saco River. Many people fish that jetty and do fair. I would recommend the sandy area between the start of the jetty and the Lobsterman's commercial pier. Moving tide either way... Good with bucktails/teasers, swimming plugs and if at night, eels. Alot of decent fish come out of that spot and not many bait shops talk about it....


Good luck
