Visiting fisheries biologist...request for Portland area info

[fishbum]

Howdy folks!

I'm a fisheries manager/college biology faculty from Ohio and will be in the Portland area between Aug 1-7. I have fished for stripers a bit in Cape Cod and Cape May areas, but am no expert! I would love to get out in the later afternoons/evenings and chase stripers and bluefish when in town. Can anyone help w/any starting info, though, as I have never been to (and may never be back to) this area.

Ideally, I would like to hook up w/somebody who I can repay the favor to someday. I know more than is probably healthy (!!!) about Great Lakes (esp Lake Erie) steelhead and would be happy to return any favors/info by taking you steelhead fishing.

Thanks in advance for any info! BTW, I do understand sensitive info should/will stay w/me, and PMs are encouraged if that's the case.

Thanks!

Mike
