Welcome aboard!

Is there any truth to the rumor that you guys

have some of the best smallmouth fishing in

the country? I've heard a few stories about

numbers AND size. Care to share any

secrets?

If he's really from Maine, hr ain't tellin' lol  He will however, probably invite you up and feed you the best venison and eggs breakfast before he takes you to the lake and let's you see for yourself.  That's how they roll up there.

Welcome

How Y'all Are?  

Ahoy hoy.    

Hey Woodsman, welcome to the board!  Glad to have anotha Main-ah on board.  I'm from the Portland area and love to fish smallies but down here we have mostly largemouth.  Are you in the Rangley area?

We do have excellent smallmouth waters. Take your pick, rivers or lakes. They take time up here to grow to any size. An occasional 3-4 pounder makes it worth the while. In the Augusta area where I'm from, we have the Kennebec River which produces good smallmouth action. Although starting pretty soon we tend to catch more stripe bass than smallmouth because of the alewife run.

The most famous smallmouth waters are in Washington, Hancock and Penobscot Counties. Be going up there in a couple of weeks to fish the Penobscot and Mattawamkeag Rivers along with several smaller lakes. All smallies, no largemouths.

What to use? Floating Rapalas or Rebels, Senkos, Mepps, Hula Grubs and Ikas.

Let you know how we make out.

My friend from RI who replied on this thread is  pretty close to being right about Mainers sharing info. Six months of winter makes us that way but we are quite ready to extend a welcome hand, especially when it comes to the outdoors.

On the otherhand, when it comes to trout and salmon..........?

Welcome.Just let everyone know where the rock piles and cribs are at, before you send them fishing...lower units are expensive........

Welcome Home!
