About Event Educators:
Amir Colbert Stone
Amir has been fishing for freshwater species since he was in elementary school. He moved to Maine three years ago, with zero saltwater fishing experience, but started fishing for squid in 2025. He enjoys showing friends this unique seasonal opportunity, and is always looking for more people to take with him! I am attaching a few more pictures to include.
Winston ‘Tony’ Antoine, Registered Maine Guide
Tony’s love affair with Mother Nature started in his youth along the shores of the Chesapeake in Baltimore. That connection to nature was further strengthened in adulthood in Brunswick as an undergraduate at Bowdoin College. From fishing and crabbing in Maryland to foraging and hunting in Maine, a relationship to the environment was a cultural inheritance!
