Today is marked by a very strong southerly wind the weather man says it is ahead of a cold front that will work it’s way though tomorrow with rain showers. It has been very dry so the rain will be most welcome for the gardens and lawns.

A Week Learning to Fish
This week was again very busy, most of my time was on freshwater with folks young and younger who were new to fishing. Two family fishing trips on consecutive afternoons produced impressive numbers of perch, sunfish and shiners that were a delight to the kids involved. On one of the trips we also brought several nice bass and a few pickerel to the boat for pictures. Both afternoons were cloudy which I think makes spending time in the middle of the pond especially pleasant. After several weeks of standing out in the sun cloudy skies are a pleasant relief.

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.
