I just booked next saturday...2/5 at Baker's. Fishing the late tide...10:00pm till 4am I believe. Got a 6 man. Haven't been in years but want to bring my son and hope he likes it as much as I did when I went with my dad many years ago. I got the basics...sabiki's, soft jigging rods, made up some drop shot style rigs with #12's and flies and of course the cast iron and flour/spices will be coming. I posted a thread in the MA section but got no advice. If there's anything else I should know, please tell me. Any advice would be appreciated.....want to make it a fun experience for the boy since waiting for salmon and trout flags can get boring for a 12 year old. Anyone else gonna be there next weekend? I should be in both forums with property in ME and MA but reside full time in MA now.
Seems like you are well prepared. Some people just show up and use the camp's stock smelt boards. I think with your finesse sabiki setups you should have a good chance. Sometimes it doesn't even matter what you put down the hole; at times they are ravenous and will bite anything, othertimes it seems like fishing in a bathtub. Good luck to you and your son! Please post a report and let us know how you do. Thanks.
I will certainly post a report....I'll be there the weekend before you. I'm in shack #35 and I believe it's one of the first ones on the run when the fish come up.....at least that's what Cindy (@ baker's) told me..
Leightons...went there today slayed them. Only two of us on the river over two hundred or so 740am to 130pm really good time small shacks but plenty of wood nice house lines lost a lot of fish!
