Very cold this week with some snow but no ice yet in the lake!! Caught a couple of small bass on wacky worms fished real slow!! Best part was the late afternoon sky!!

First time I fished a pond in Largo I found myself straddling a 12’ gators tail!! I beat a quick retreat!!

As the waters get colder (Maine) slow down.. I have caught big bass in November trolling a square bill crankbait on the surface.. sometimes just drifting with a crankbait out there. Stop and twitch it now and then.. I troll off points and ledges..

It’s all about being patient and enjoying time on the water..lost count how many big ones I’ve lost but when it all works out there’s nothing better.

Since the 1920’s my family rented cottages to summer folks here in Maine and it was a real “fish camp”!! I have pictures of huge stringers of smallmouth bass and perch and every Friday there would be a fish fry...by the time I started fishing this lake in the ‘50’s you hardly ever caught a bass!! That’s why the state stocked it with largemouth bass in the early ‘60’s. I learned the lesson early that catch and release is important.

Back in the 1960’s IFW here in Maine stocked our lake with largemouth bass. In 1977 I caught one of those original bass and it weighed 71/2 pounds!! The Field & Stream contest winner for Maine that year!! Now fast forward to this week and I finally beat that fish with an 81/2 pounder that measured 25”. Since the season is officially closed, l released this bass but got this neat picture anyway.

Up here in Maine we are starting to get fish that looks like this.. take out the dams and now alewives are swarming into the lakes.. look a lot like shad. You also have them in the Great Lakes.
