I am all about going big or going home. Still searching for that 10 lb New England Largemouth.

I have been catching them on a variety of lures. I have had a rubber worm, a crankbait, a jig, and a frog tied on every time I hit the water. When I go at night I have been using a buzzbait and a spinnerbait. The first 3-3 I entered was caught near shore in some reeds. The 6-0 was caught off shore on a rubber worm. The 7-0 was caught at night offshore on a spinnerbait. The second 3-3 I entered I caught on a rubber worm on an offshore rockpile. Fish are getting pretty active. The afternoon bite has been very good lately.

I have been having luck on jigs, spinnerbaits, frogs, crankbaits, and senkos. Seems like a lot of fish have started to move shallower. As the weeds start to die (like they have were I am) start to look to other structure and cover. Wood is always good. I have also been having some luck fishing at night lately.

That last fish I entered had a deformed upper lip from being caught previoulsy.

I got one decent bass today for my four fish Fish # 4 18.5 inches 3 lbs 3 oz

Oh here is the 5-15/6-0 on the scale. Scale don't lie so I guess I will have to go with 5-15. Seriously it was bouncing between 5-15 and 6-0

I was able to get out and fish a couple hours today after working on my truck all day Got on the water at 6pm and stayed til 830. I caught a couple nice fish after dark. Here are my first three fish: Fish # 1 17.5 inches 3lbs 3oz Fish # 2 22 inches 6lbs 0oz Here is a pic of the fish on the scale. It was very difficult for me to get a pic of the fish and the scale reading the weight alone. It says 5-15 in the pic but I swear it was bouncing to 6-0. Fish # 3 23 inches 7lbs 0oz I tried to get a pic of this one n the scale to but it did not come out.

I am in.

If you want a good quality reliable Crankbaitt I would suggest the Koppers live Target crawfish paterned silent squarebill crankbait. I usually try and bump into whatever I am fishing when fishing crankbaits. The koppers live target craw are expensive at 11 buck a piece but they worth it. The KVD 1.5s are also a really productive crankbait again I would suggest the silent squarebilled version. Right now with the water temp in the low to mid 60s it is crankbait time.

Trust me that was just a really good week. The big ones were biting and I was lucky enough to figure them out. Its not like I catch 7 and 8 lbers all the time.

Has anyone been fishing Lake Champlain lately ? I have heard the smallmouth are biting real good right now.

I started a lunker tourney the beginning of the season. I think 6-8 was the last fish I entered. Nobody seems to be following it anymore. There is a competition right now for 5 biggest bass total inches for the month of September. The past week or so I have entered a bunch of lunkers. Well I guess I will be in on this one too. I got a couple more days in Maine to put a good one up here. Check out the "who wants in September competition".

The fishing has been great the past week. The full moon has had the big bass biting good. Even during the super high pressure days with no wind and bluebird skies the big fish have been biting mostly early and late. It is one of the best times of the year to catch big bass.

jig and a crankbait. Once November starts is time to throw a blade bait

I have been catching them on a few different lures. It depends on the day and the situation. 8-5 was on a frog. 7-4,6-0, were on crankbaits.6-5 was on a jig.6-6 was on a rubber worm. Basically when I go out anywhere this time of year I have a worm, jig, crankbait and frog tied on. At times I think its not the bait but where you put it that is more important.

Fishing has been great. I got into some good ones again today. I was able to cull my three smallest bass today Cull #1 23 inch 6lb 5oz. Its too bad it was kind of skinny. If it had a gut it would have had some serious weight. Cull #2 21.5 inch 6lb 6oz. She had some girth too her. Cull #3 21.25 inch 6lb 0z. After the culling my three smallest fish today my biggest 5 are 23.5,23,22.5,21.5,21.25 For a total of 111.75 inches

I am fishing in Maine not Mass.

Managed to get two cull fish today in the three foot waves and 20 mph winds. 23.5 inches 8-5 20.5 inches 5-5 I think my biggest 5 are: 23.5 , 22.5, 20.5, 20.25, 20.25 107 inches total

Water temp out here is 70 degrees. I am fishing western maine. I was able to cull my shortest fish today, the 19 inch 4-2. Nothing huge but a 19.5 inch 4-1. Added a half inch to the total. I think that gives me 102.5 inches

Today was my first day of vacation in Maine and it was amazing. Here are my five bass, lengths and weights, 10 days to try and upgrade. Bass # 1 19 inches 4lbs 2oz Bass # 2 20 inches 4lbs 5oz Bass # 3 20.25 inches 5lbs 5oz Bass # 4 22.5 inches 7 lbs 4 oz Bass # 5 20.25 inches 4 lbs 11 oz Total inches : 102 Total weight: 25lbs 11 oz Another pic of the 5-5 Another pic of the 7-4 Back on the water again tomorrow !

Are you having good participation ? Seems to have tailed off a bit here.

September and October are excellent months to bass fish in Maine. Summer tourists are gone as are the power boaters and jet skiers. The fish move shallow again and as the water cools the bite gets red hot. Fall is such a great time of year to catch some bass !

Nice fish. Did you feel it bite ? Is it still swimming ?

How many Maine guys do we have out there ?

Going for 110 inches. I will get the weight of mine as well. On vacation for 12 days this month in Maine. Watch out I am all in !
