You can get there from here with new fish-and-game apps

Recreational fishing and hunting just got smarter with the development of two mobile apps that link to state regulations and provide detailed directions to Maine’s myriad ponds and lakes and prime hunting spots.

Ron Cote of West Gardiner developed the two apps, released them through his limited liability corporation, Northeast Logic, and is now making money from the hunting one through a fee and from the fishing one through advertisements, the Kennebec Journal reported.

The apps link to regulations on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website.

For the fishing app, Cote has taken ads from the Maine Guides, a lodging and guide business in Greenville Junction called Wilsons, run by Scott and Alison Snell, and a fish taxidermist.

“Not every fisherman is really good with trying to take the (’Maine Atlas and) Gazetteer’ and figuring out which Indian Pond, Great Pond or Long Pond they are going to,” Scott Snell told the paper.
