    Fines/ Covid19

    Has anybody here gotten a fine for not being a Maine resident ?
    Is it okay to go to Maine and fish without being harassed or fined. Getting reports Ma. residents getting fined shopping in Kittery,with the police waiting for car owners to return ,then writing a fine of $500.00 / person.
    Just would like to go up for a day trip, once a week . Is that going to be a problem ?
    Thanks for any info.

    A few weeks ago on my way home , I pulled into a parking lot in Eliot, there 2 police vehicles , talking . I parked the trucked to check trailer straps before getting onto I-95, officer came over to talk about my boat . Seemed like a good cop, had a few laughs . Then on my way ,... no problems .

    Have no choice. 95 goes thru Kittery, unless there's a way to avoid that area.

    Don't think it's on the interstate that's the issue.

    I don't what the problem is just being out fishing alone on boat alone . Hoping I don't meet up
    with a "Barney Fife" in at a boat ramp parking area .

    I know that ,...it sucks that you wonder about it . Seems like we are going to have to drive the back roads like in "Smokey & the Bandit" to avoid the law . ��
