Today was one of those days that you dream about for the rest of the year. The weather was pretty close to perfect. Not frosty this morning but chilly enough that you know fall will be here soon with nice warm temperatures during the day. No wind to speak of and a perfect blue sky uninterrupted by even one cloud. I am sitting n the deck this evening and you can hear the neighbors cows clearly mooing steadily a half mile away. The leaves continue their steady change but still are very much green.

No longer a secret, Maine is nationally known for bass fishing. Fish for smallmouths in secluded ponds with rocky shorelines. These aggressive fish are acrobatic and tireless. Largemouths lurk in weedy ponds and along lazy stretches of our rivers. Pick your passion bass can be taken with light spinning gear or flies.
