BTW I'm impressed with Maine's fishing regulations. Limits are quite conservative which I prefer. And many lakes don't allow PWC. Yes! I hate those things!
Yea, the limits we do have are conservative, and there are waters with further reduced limits or different size requirements. Though there are a few places have increased limits and different size requirements to reduce population! But I’m sure you noticed, the limit on bass is only in the souther half of the state as they are actually invasive here
and there is no limits to any panfish. Crappie and pike are both invasive species too, so don’t feel like your being greedy frying up as many as you want on your trip.
Also, A law that’s a bit different than most states, No use of a live well or live stringer. anything you’re not going to release immediately has to be killed immediately.
