Have a short trip to Portland ME coming up. Going to take a rod along in case I get some free time. Any pointers?

Check with the local shops around Portland, South Portland.

been to Portland once but never fished. very beautiful and nostalgic city up there. ask some of the locals and they can point you in the right direction. I hear the halibut fishing is great up there. You will have a blast!!

Probably some YouTube videos on the subject
