The state of Maine doesn't allow tournaments on Moosehead Lake.

I am in. ALL in.

I just saw the 2014 Top 100 bass lakes list. This list surprises me every year. I think it is kind of a joke personally, but thats my opinion. A few lakes in Maine made the list. I was really surprised to see Moosehead Lake ranked in the top 100.. That is crazy. Cobbeesocontee made the list again which doesn't surprise me. China lake was ranked pretty high and it should be. For the first time Kezar Lake wasn't ranked in the top 100, it is every bit as good as China, if not better. Squam and Winnipausaukee made the list too. Lake Champlain and Memphramagog were on the list for Vermont. Its good to see some New England waters make the list but, I think the best waters weren't listed. I am still surprised by Moosehead Lake making the top 100.

Is anyone fishing the Moose Pond tourney this Sunday ?

I managed to find 3 hours of fishing time today in between the family Easter plans. It was pretty warm out today. I fished a small pond that was half ice yesterday. Surprisingly the water temperature was 48 degrees. The water is super clear on this small pond and the bass were really spooky. They would see my jig and spook. After fishing my jig for two hours and nothing I switched tactics. I started fishing a senko and crankbait. I caught a 2 lber and a 2.5 lber pretty quickly on a senko. Just before I had to leave I caught a 3 lb 9 oz largemouth on a crankbait for a total of 3 bass today.I will be on the water again tomorrow fishing moose pond if we can launch the boat.

Today was my first day in my boat this year. The lake was 6 feet high muddy and the wind was blowing 15-20 with stronger gust. Water temp was 41 degrees. The strong north wind made it feel much colder then 55 degrees. I fished for 4 hours and caught 2 largemouth both about 2.5 lbs. Both fish bit a jig. I will be trying another lake tomorrow and hopefully it wont be as windy or muddy. It felt pretty awesome to catch some bass !

Not sure exactly. I will be checking a few places this evening. I may have to go to arrowhead but first I went to check around.

Saturday will be the first day on the water for me

Nobody has caught anything in the last week ??

Unity College is an awesome college. Great place to fish less then 5 min down the road. Great job placement rates for graduates. I had a job before I graduated. If you can go there, do it.

Oh CMCC.. If you want to be a game warden it is hard to beat a bachelors degree in conservation law enforcement at Unity College. The job placement rate is unbelievably high. I think over half of the Maine game wardens graduated from Unity with that degree and several from New Hampshire. It is a well respected program.

You thinking about going to University of Maine Orono ? I actually went to college a little ways south of there in Unity at Unity College. Great four years and the fishing in the area is amazing.

I went to Fryeburg Academy back in the day

It is unfortunate that people are such slobs. I hate seeing litter, whether that is along the road or at the boat launches. I usually end up picking up trash every singe time I go fishing. Its such a disgrace...

One fish per Senko ? How are you rigging it ? I fish a lot of Senko's and usually catch several fish on one Senko. I usually fish them Texas rigged weightless. After catching a couple fish, I turn the Senko's around so the slimmer end has the hook through it. It comes through weeds better with the slimmer end hooked and it allows you to catch a few more fish on the same Senko. Sometimes I manage to catch 7 or 8 fish on one senko.. If I fish then wacky style I always use the small black bands that go around the Senko. When fishing the Senko like this my hook actually isn't even through the Senko. I prefer to use the gary yamamato's senko or the kinami flash. In my opinion these baits are much softer then most imitations and catch more fish. As far as color goes I fish natural colors.

Jigs catch fish ? Biggest bass fish I have ever caught was a 9-1 and it was on a jig. Jigs certainly do catch better then average fish. It is a big fish lure. Senko's catch everything from little 6 inch dinks to lunker bass. Biggest fish to date on a Senko is an 8-10. A lot of people don't like fishing Senko's but at times they certainly do out fish other lures. I have done well in tournaments fishing jigs and fishing Senko's. Three years ago a friend and I fished a tournament on a highly pressured lake. The jig bite died about 10 am. We had our limit by then but no weight. The Senko's saved us that day. We ended fishing second place, with lunker a 6-4 on a Senko at noon. Jigs are a great all season bait that catches big bass. I love fishing jigs and would prefer to fish them above all else. There are times though when you cant deny the catching power of the Senko.

I use 50 lb braid. I fish super heavy cover. If I hook a huge bass and it gets wrapped on a log, I want to pull the log in too.
