So its summer in Maine and all the yahoos are boating,fishing, most of the freshwater is murky with freakishly large snapper turtles swimming around. Other areas become unsafe due to water temp and bacteria levels in water so I really am limited in summer. Sal****er is great except for the boats and striped bass fishermen but I decided to try an area a sal****er river close to the ocean. This time of year the flounder are in so I was hopeful. 10 minutes into my dive I found my heartbreak bottle. It was showing old green glass like a panel to a case gin, after a little digging I realized it was what I thought was a 3/4 full N Wood Portland Me in a nice Stoddard seedy glass."Why cant it be whole" still I was pumped it will display well. Bam got a nice flounder a couple minutes after that. Tide began to crank as I was already1hr late for high tide. Found this cool pipe with a face in a spot that hasnt given many over the hundreds of dives in this area. Just as I was making my way back downriver I speared one more nice size flounder. Well the big surprize its not an N Wood its a Dr. Swetts Panacea Exeter NH.
