Big pike time

This is such a great time to fish for trophy pike with one uncontrollable exception — the weather!  Last week the wind was just-a-blowin’ nonstop for 4 days.  The Kobani’s were visiting and staying at the camp on Snow Pond and we fished hard.  But the wind just wouldn’t stop and it made fishing conditions unbearable.  The good news is, we found a lot of fish breaking water and chasing bait, so that made the fishing exciting.  Al Kobani had a giant pike rip off his buzz bait and we ended up catch about 8 pike and a couple small bass.  Too bad it was so windy cause I think he could have caught many more fish!  That Friday I took Bob Sagat and his buddy Milt up in the stream because the wind made the lake unfishable.  Well, Milt hooked into a beauty which I’ve posted below.    So there’s a lot of big pike in the shallows right now.  There’s at least 2 more good weeks of fishing ahead too.  Check out the speicals board  . . . 🙂

fall is here!

Ok, so I just went on line at DIF&W and purchased all my fall licenses. 

Already have my fall turkey license and that starts Columbus Day weekend – can’t wait to bow hunt for turkeys!

Then I bought my archery licenses – best season of the year!

Then I bought my limited archery licenses (got a doe and buck tag) because we have some good hunting here and I’m headed down south next week to bow hunt.

Then I bought my duck stamps (state and federal) and brought the duck boat down to camp – ready to shoot some quackers starting on Wednesday. 

Thankfull I already have my fishing license cause in between hunting, I’ll be in my BOAT catching some fish this October.  This has to be the best month of the year!

Sun is setting on summer

 

The best season of them all is finally here!  FALL is by far my favorite season in Maine.  Of course the fishing is excellet (I love fall pike fishing when the big females move in shallow and I love catching those beautiful brook trout too).  Deer season is right around the corner and I”ve bee busy putting out trail cameras and deer stands in preperation.  We also love hiking the Kennebec Highlands during the peak of fall foliage too.   Lastly, starting pretty soon the wild mushrooms will be popping up – yummy!

Lately the fishing has been really weird.  One day is amazing  and the next you have to work for them.  Labor Day Weekend is a perfect example.  On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the fishing was really good.  I did trips on Great Pond, Messalonskee Lake and Belgrade Stream.  Wind was an issue, but we had a blast.  Then on Monday it stunk.  Couldn’t get many fish to bite at all.  Talk about weird and frustrating!  I guess that’s why you have to enjoy the g

Heat wave fishing

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Been fishing almost every day for the last 21 days (tired but quite happy too!). We are in the middle of a heat wave right now, but the fishing has really been excellent! the last 2 days have been in the high 90’s with bright blue skies, yet the smallmouth fishing was off the charts. Especially in the morning.  Click on the right photo of  Eric from Philly.  That is one BIG smallie!!!  As a bonus, the northern pike are really starting to move shallow too. The last five trips we’ve managed a quite a few over 10 pounds and one over 15. Not bad for this time of year. Rumor has it that Labor day is bringing a storm and a cold front. That should be interesting.
