What to Know About Free Fishing Weekend in Maine June 2023

There's something about fishing... and men in Maine, that really gets them riled up LOL. I don't have to understand it to know that men love to sit on a boat with their friends and family with a 6-pack and just... well... fish.

This may be the only time I'll be able to say "No License? No Problem."

So, I figured I'd let all the fish-loving men (and ladies that like it, too) know there's actually a weekend coming up in June that allows you to cast a line in the water without a license (that's what we mean by free).

Honestly, it's a great way for you, if you're new to the sport, to go out there and give one of the biggest Maine traditions a try without the commitment of buying a license. With that being said, if you're interested in a new hobby, don't miss out on your shot to try your hand at it on June 3 and 4!

I'll say it again for the people in the back: June 3 and 4!

If you're already thinking about planning your trip with your people, visit mefishwildlife.com/fishing just to make sure you've got a good checklist before heading out onto the water.

I do have to note here, the free line cast applies to everybody with the exception of those who have had their licenses suspended or revoked, SORRY. Don't be a criminal, and also note that just because the fishing law is free for a couple days doesn't mean the rest of the laws in the world don't apply either ;) .

For the single men, this is a perfect opportunity to take a fish photo for the gram or Tinder. We all know it's the first thing women tend to swipe right on in Maine. KIDDING. Maybe.
