Bass Fishing

For the last 10 days  I’ve been fishing the Belgrade Lakes Region pretty hard for smallmouth and largemouth bass.  For the most part, I’ve been fishing Salmon Lake out of Whisperwood Lodge, Great Pond and Messalonskee Lake (Snow Pond).  I must say, this has been an amazing season for bass fishing.  Every trip out we are catching some really big bass and in good numbers too.  On Wednesday of this week, I did a northern pike trip and we even whacked a bunch of those – 28 to be exact.  They were not all big ones, but the numbers were impressive.  I hope the fishing continues this was all summer!

I’m taking a break from the lakes today and am headed to the coast for a little striped bass fishing with my daughters and wife.  Should be fun – I hear the blue fish are already here too!!!!  I’ll post pics if I take any . . .

Gotta get up early with this heat, but it can pay off.

Had a blast today fishing with David (shown) and his 2 young boys Matt and Chris.  The kids kept busy with white perch while David hammered some really nice bass!  Bite was good from about 6 – 8 a.m and the the heat got the best of the kids (and me!).  Still caught some, but not like the early morning.

Great Day on the Lake

What a blast today.  I had Ricky and Bob Sagat in the boat.  They are from Cali, but love Maine.  Ricky has a reputation for catching big fish every time we get together.  This time was no exception as he caught the biggest smallmouth of the year so far in my boat – 4 pounds 6 ounces.  The day started off pretty slow.  It was really windy, but after lunch the fishing got better and better.  The guys ended up with some really nice largemouth and smallmouth bass and a number of northern pike too.  It was just a fun day!

Some pretty cool videos

Well, I’m starting to get the hang of this blog thing!  I’ve been fishing just about every day from dawn till dusk, so there isn’t a lot of time to post, but here’s a couple of videos I put on YouTube (and our facebook page). 

You’ll want to click on the HD button (or 720dpi) to see them at their best.

I love the loon video!  They are such a cool bird!   

Here’s a bunch of white perch under the dock at the Snow Pond Cottage – I took this last week.

This short video is of my friend Dustin when we went striper fishing on the Kennebec River last week – too funny!

Awesome fishing lately

The fishing has really picked up the last week.  Today I did  a pike trip that was as fun as a day of fishing can be.  No 20 pounders today, but a LOT of fish and we did get 2 giants to chase but not hit.  Live bait was not good today and every fish caught was on artificials.  The fish were really active.

The other good news is the smallmouth bass.  They are really feeding right now, including the bigger females.  The bass are still shallow, even during the heat of the day.
