One thing that is always fun to do in Maine is to go smelting. What an experience! You can bring all your friends and family, kids and grandparents alike.  This was one of the last weekends that most of the smelt shacks were going to be open due to the fast melting ice on the river.  So the four of us (Willy,  Zane,  Wayne and myself) hopped in to the truck and headed to Jim Worhting’s Smelt Shacks in Randolph, Maine.  Worthing’s sustains about 50 to 75 shacks during the peak season and supplies everything you would need to catch these delicious fish.  The shacks were warm and the people were great!  Enjoy the video….

Welcome to Flip Outdoors, and our inaugural episode!

Flip Outdoors is an outdoor adventure web-show. Hosted by Jimmy Kearns and Luke LaBree, and featuring our friends and family that come along for the ride. We explore all over the state of Maine in search of fun, adventure and entertainment.

In this episode we’re ice fishing on Pushaw, a 7 mile long rather shallow lake outside of Old Town, Maine. We’ve hit this lake already this year in an attempt to catch some big Pike. They were elusive this trip, but we ended up catching a lot of good sized Pickerel.

Be sure to leave your comments and keep an eye out for our next adventure!
