Super User Swamp Girl Posted June 14, 2023 Super User Share Posted June 14, 2023 I had good quantity (34 fish: 29 LMB, 4 SMB, and one pickerel) and good quality (some 17, 18, and 19-inchers). It was calm, overcast, and foggy early. I set the hook faster on my soft plastics and that worked well. I saw a bald eagle trying to kill an osprey (again). The osprey escaped again. Hooray! It was a good morning. When I was a kid, I wanted to catch ONE 17-inch bass. My brothers had all caught one and I wanted to catch ONE too to say I could keep up with them. Now I catch so many 17-inchers. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture a guess that you're the best angler in your family....now your brothers just want one day of catching fifty 17"+ Bass 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eagles try to kill ospreys because they're competing for the same fish. Imagine the competitors in a bass tourney trying to do the same, using their bass boats like fighter jets in a dogfight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I long for that kind of solitude, especially being in the city myself. I always liked it when I lived up north less people more trees and wildlife were a welcome companion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have more than 30 area lakes and bogs that I have yet to fish. Heck, there's one that's four minutes away and is good for thirty-some bass per morning that I haven't fished yet this year. Maine is rich in water, but scant with people. Perhaps when you retire, you can move here. You can still buy a house up north for $50,000 and the north has ten times the water that mid-coast Maine has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find a house around me now for less than $30,000 over that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really aren’t, other than being a national symbol. They scavenge stinky dead fish and pick away at rotting roadkill deer carcasses a heck of a lot more than they hunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bird eat bird world out there the studies I’ve seen of their gut contents is over 60% waterfowl. Sitting ducks, you might say.
