Hello All,

 

I plan on making a trip up to Southern Maine the first week of Feb to do some Ice fishing for Smallmouth. I've been doing some research on good smallmouth fisheries in the area. I have come up with a few that seemed to be better than the rest, with those being:

-Thomas Pond

-Hancock Pond

-Lovewell Pond

-Thompson Lake

-Trickey Pond

 

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for finding these smallmouth. Or if maybe these lakes/Ponds weren't as good as the reviews I have heard of them, or maybe I'm missing some good ones in the area.

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Guys/Girls!

most fishing in here in maine is for trout and pike in the winter.  have fished all the lakes but for trout in winter. fish mostly bass in open water. could try cobbessecconte. lots if bass in summer. fished for trout and pike mostly in the winter. annabasacook right above it is another option. come back in open water and try lewiston and below on the androscoggin. actually a lot of open water right now but i wouldnt want to be out there in a boat.
