Folks always ask what I do in the off season, fair question since these days I am mostly free from the middle of November to April. I do guide a few trips during the colder months (ice fishing and the occasional nature exploration trip). But for the most part it is time at my desk and feeding the wood stove.
Clients frequently ask when the trips that we offer are available. Over the years seasons have expanded and fall is much longer (and warmer). Our seasons have stretched on both ends.
For reference here are the general season dates that I tell folks who are considering a trip in the coming year.
January 15 to March 2 Guided Ice fishing
Everyone asks about seeing a moose while they are out with me. The short answer is that while it is not impossible to see one here in the mid coast but it is not likely. Over many years guiding in coastal Maine I have had two moose great sightings both of those were while on salt water trips. One moose swam past the Lund early one morning less than a cast away. I’ve seen several while not guiding.
