Are There Many Maine Fisherman On Here?

[Tatsu Dave]

Just wondering we always seem to be in the minority on fishing forums....heck last site I couldn't find any  I know the fishing up here is lighter pressure but worth it IMO. Curious I guess if many guys call it home.    Dave

Alive and kicking....  I often feel the same way, ie anyone doing what I am doing???  Hard to find forums centered our lakes and region.   I am an AVID smallmouth fisherman and starting to feel the pressure of the changing seasons, knowing my time on the water is running out before the regulations change and I can't fish anywhere, or before the weather changes and its too cold to wet a line....  

 

I have started looking for Maine based posts, so just wanted to let you know there is at least one other guy on the water in Maine...  ?

Young in Maine but been fishing here all my life.  I am proud to call it my home state!

Southern Maine in Acton on Mousam Lake. Just outside of Sanford. Been here all my life. I know the bottom of this 4.5 mile lake's edge because I've been fishing/snorkeling it since I was a kid many decades ago. That being said, I'm still working to pull fish out of this lake with mixed success.

Well its sure good to see other Maine posters and members on here! Great place to live and fish, we spent the morning fishing one of the rivers and did very well. I'm straight out right now but will post some pics in the next day or two.    Dave

Absolutely!  I live in southern maine and fish mostly the Augusta area. So much good water up here! I think there are more fishermen that you think; everyone just keeps this gold mine to themselves.

 

You have to be careful what you read and where that information is referring to. I've found Maine to be very different than most water south of us.

lewiston here- love fishing the andro for smallies

 

there is bass fishing group on facebook for maine that gets a lot more attention

 

[Tatsu Dave]

Thank you all for letting me know Maine is represented on here  Heard the Andro is pretty good for producing large smallies, anyplace that does that is good in my book.   Dave

[haggard]

Yep we're here.

Well I bet there's one thing we all have in common....catching Smallmouth Bass

[marinetech]

Grew up in the 60's and 70's on Sebago. I don't fish it any more. I do fish just about anywhere else. Dead River being one of my favorites.

Fellow Mainer checking in!

[jbmaine]

Count me in!

[Tatsu Dave]

So tell me guys......what size bass do you catch in southern Maine?  Hard pressed up here to get to that 6# mark just curious if you top that. Don't worry I won't come south to fish as I get a twitch when subjected to busy ramps and heavy fishing pressure  I like it quiet and tranquil. I believe we will break the 6# barrier but probably not much more and not very frequently. Good to hear from you, more Maine fisherman on here than I imagined.

Resurrecting this post because I recently moved to Maine (Portland) from Georgia (Atlanta). Needless to say, I'm looking for people to fish with and for any sort of direction on bass fishing in Maine. Would definitely love to learn from you guys, as it sounds like things here are a bit different than I am used to...

I have been spending some time in ME and you can count me in the Androscoggin river smallie clique.

Not a Mainer but spent 10 summers up there as a kid. This year = 2 week-long trips. Washington County in June, Kennebec County in July. Love the bass fishing in Maine.

Maine is very underrated in the bass fishing arena. Except the time when Bassmaster Magazine said that Maine was home to 3 of the top 100 bass lakes in the country. That got the water a little busy. As someone who runs a bass club and has fished tournaments for 20 years now, I can say Maine has more lakes that put out 20lb limits than any other state in New England. Not to mention the fact that a few of them could be won with almost 20lbs of smallmouth bass. We are very fortunate to live and fish here.

Vacation in Maine every year and are planning a move there next year to the Ellsworth area.

 

Had a great day on Abrams Pond, 2 18", 2 20" and a 22" all smallmouth in 20 minutes.

 

Also 2 - 20" on Green Lake within 10 minutes

All on Rapala and Mepps

 

My daughters BF family has a condo on Moose Pond and they caught huge both sm and lg mouth last year on Mepps
