Where and How to Catch Fish in Maine!
Sure, The Maine Sportsman’s May 2023 issue covers a wide range of topics – most notably the Wild Turkey season that starts May 1 (Youth Day April 29), and our annual presentation of the most recent Grand Slam patch club inductees (56 in all – amazing!).
But what really floats our boats this month is fishing, including:
- Angling opportunities to be gained if the dams on the Mousam River are removed (King Montgomery’s “Sportsman’s Journal”)
- Spring trolling in The County (Bill Graves)
Start preparing for fishing season today, so you’re ready for a whopper like this hefty Rangeley brook trout. William Clunie photo - Fishing the Allagash (Tim Caverly)
- Trout fishing opportunities all over New England, from Southern Maine to Moosehead, and across to the Midcoast and Downeast Regions, and even west to New Hampshire
- Safety on the water – a special section by Bob Humphrey, and
Stripers can be caught on a variety of jigs, including bucktails, lead-head jigs with soft baits, and even diamond jigs. Jigging for groundfish, in our monthly “Saltwater Fishing” column, as well as an extensive full-page “Fishing Charter Directory” listing 17 different charter options in Maine, New Hampshire and Upstate New York.
Supplementing all that fishing information, you’ll find the latest ATV developments (Steve Carpenteri’s special section); coyote hunting (John LaMarca); hoisting a sail on a canoe (Lisa DeHart); Joe Salty’s lifelong search for monster bucks; and the latest rifle from Henry Repeating Arms (“Shooter’s Bench,” by Col. JC Allard).

We’ll see you on the water, and (because your camo is so good), we won’t see you in the turkey fields!
Be careful out there.
