Hello all. I haven't done much posting lately, although I have done a fair bit of lurking...I aim to retire from my current job at the end of 2017. I want to treat myself to a multi stop hunt along the East coast, first in Maine, then maybe New Jersey, Md and ending up in Fla.
Like a lot of guys, I used to hunt with Bill Wasson in Maine, but he's retired and I am at a loss as to who to book with there. I'm looking to hunt with a couple of friends, probably for 2 days. We'd like to shoot eiders and if possible, hunt off the rocks instead of a boat.
Anybody have any reccomendations as who to book a hunt with in Maine?
Thanks much,
John Bourbon

Ernie at Rising Sun Outfitters is my recommendation. I have personally hunted with him on 2 separate occasions and know of many others that I have sent his way, a few who go back every year.
Great guy & fantastic accommodations (if needed). Feel free to PM if you need more information.
Good luck out east!
 
Thank you Jode and Steve.
John, There are certainly some talented guides in this state. I've heard good things about all mentioned, Ernie, Jon and I understand that Brain Rhodes is now in Maine too.
Thanks again guys.

Don't post much , but I've hunted with Ernie at Rising Sun twice as well and had great trips both times. Not just an outfitter when I left Ernie was a friend! Tell him Rick sent you.
 
I'll put another plug in for Troy Fields...When I decide to go after Eiders that's who I will be calling. Hopefully someday soon.

Thank you all very much for the recommendations. I am very much looking forward to a return to Maine. I have an old Remington 10 ga SxS that I want to turn loose on big divers.

I have used 3-4 guides on the southern coast, I would recommend John Nowinski.
