Got 2 this morning 44" and 40" in southern maine. 3 other schoolies about 19-24" each. The two big ones were on poppers and the others were on shads. All south of portland.

The maine wildlife patrol is all over the place this spring as well. The guy came down to my spot, private road and beach/rocks, and measured my first big one, jsut over 40", I threw it back anyways. he also checkd my box and drink cooler for anything else suspicious. As I was leaving and goin to the store I saw his truck at the breakwater in K'port doing the same thing. I wondered if they have had trouble with people taking illegal fish.

	Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
