Canvas - Grand Marsh Bay, Gouldsboro, Maine
from $45.00
Grand Marsh Bay is located in Gouldsboro, Maine adjacent to West Bay and at the end of Gouldsboro Bay. The tides in this bay range from approximately 10-12 ft (3-3.7 m) depending on the moon cycle and will shrink to only a small channel during extreme tides leaving large, exposed mud flats at low tide. Due to the extreme tides and composition of the mud, the flats are prime breeding grounds for Soft Shell Clams (Mya Arenaria) or "steamers" and at times you can see locals harvesting them when the tides are lowest. The extreme tides change over almost the entirety of the water that comes in and out of the bay twice a day bringing fresh nutrients and food allowing the sealife to thrive. Lobster fishing isn't common in Grand Marsh Bay due to the high percent of the bay that becomes mud at low tide but is very common in the abutting West and Gouldsboro Bay's.
