View Full Version : roadtrip to MAINE  07-27-2000, 11:08 AM I'm
planning to take a roadtrip to Maine. Anyone know of any good
(and cheap) places to stay and good places to go fishing out at
sea? Thanks.  07-28-2000, 10:05 AM Hey Ugly.  I grew up in
Maine. i lived there from the time I was 6 until about the age
of 22. As far as cheap places to stay, you are going to be out
of luck because it is the height of tourist season right now. If
you travel a bit inland - maybe Brunswick, Lewiston, Augusta (my
hometown), Waterville, or Bangor (where Stephen King lives) you
will probably find more vacancies and cheaper rooms.  As far as
fishing, I am not an avid fisherman but I would recommend going
to Boothbay Harbor, or Bar Harbor (Acadia National Park) and
checking down at the docks. There are several charter fishing
outfits willing to take on passengers. You also may want to
check Camden, Searsport, and Rockland as well. Further south
along the coast (Ogonquit, York, Kennebunkport) is pretty heavy
tourist territory b
