Higgins Beach Boys



Here is photo documentation of Runar Kabbe's and Russell Jacobsen's striper fishing quest during a late new moon tide in Southern Maine. These guys managed to land 70 fish in 8 days on foot. Russell decsribed this as one of the best fishing experiences of his life and Runar described these Maine locations as akin to the Gaula and Orkla. Check out Runar's trip report (includes more photos) at the Nordisk Fiskeutstyr blog.

Looks like the hard-working Norwegians put some effort into it, and seems like they got payed :-). Great stuff!

Hey Steve. we had the time of my life. Awesome trip. Thank you for "opening" and showing us your local waters. The way of crusty-the-crab.
I am creating crustaceans in my head, not to mention the "sound files"

The 12 wt gloves would work under surgical rubber gloves as well- they seem to have a snug anatomical fit that works great !! Russell ( Norway)
