huskybass Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Fished Maine the first week of June. Caught many real nice smallmouth on spinnerbaits and various soft plastics up to 5 pounds 5 ounces. Water temps ranged from 56 to 71 degrees. Hit 16 lakes over the 9 day period. Here are some photos from the week. Quote
rippin_lips Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Cool, great looking fish. I am going to Maine for a 4 day trip in July and cannot wait. What part of Maine were you in? Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Dude those are some quality smallmouth. Nice job! Quote
mike304 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 16 lakes in 9 days????????? man, I would love to take a trip like that. Nice Fish!!!!!! Quote
Huskyatwork Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Yes, we hit 16 lakes on the trip. There are so many smaller lakes that surround Sebago Lake that it is possible to hit 2 or even 3 in a day. In July, the Smallmouth will definitely be in deeper water. Best of luck on your trip. Quote
Dave T. Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Wow, I'll say you caught some nice ones. That's a seasons worth of lunkers for me. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted June 13, 2009 Super User Posted June 13, 2009 Truly an outstanding trip for you! Beautiful smallies! Congrats! Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted June 22, 2009 Super User Posted June 22, 2009 You the maine man. ;D Quote
Dc26217 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I used to go up there when I was a kid. Did you go to Crescent lake at all? I used to love that place. Quote
huskybass Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 I only fished Crescent Lake once, I caught this funny looking green thing. I remember catching a handful of very ordinary Smallmouth there as well. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 24, 2009 Super User Posted June 24, 2009 Wow! A little icing on the cake. That is truly a great picture. 8-) Quote
Dc26217 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Yeah I remember we used to get a lot of big largemouth up there. Nice smallies too though. Quote
Madhouse27 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Great pics Husky. It's been a fun first part of the season up here despite all the rain. I'm curious, if you were coming back up and could only bring one bait for some big Maine bronzebacks, what would it be? Quote
MaineBassMan Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Great trip, But that can't be Maine I thought we were only infested with dinks!! Quote

I'm curious, if you were coming back up and could only bring one bait for some big Maine bronzebacks, what would it be? - As long as the fish are in 10' of water or less, I would go with a soft jerkbait. In deeper water, I would use a tube or spider grub. Light line and long casts though are the key, I think. Quote
