When fishing up to northern lakes, this early one needs to be aware of the early fluff snow and how it slows down the ice make up . the pressure cracks will let water seep up causing slush in many un expected places, also lakes were low in nov. and rising water all winter will make slush and thin ice common around shores. pressure ridges will start to form on windy direction changes. In shallow narrows areas between larger lakes currents will prevent ice from  forming as thick as high water.    All the caustion  possible is necesary this time of year. Please stay safe .

Casco raymond  area  small Ponds people were seen out on ice everywhere. Hope they dont wander out to far from shore without  a canoe or big jet sled with them.

I didn’t realize there were so many crappies in Maine until watching some of those Joe Holland videos. I don’t think I’ve caught any in all of the smallmouth bass trips I’ve done. Are the crappie mostly just in the far Western part of the state like Fryeburg area?

Arm & Hammer baking soda, wood ash and the fiddle heads were magic mushrooms after all.
If you fish the wrong lure long and hard enough it will eventually become the right lure!

It’s more appropriate to ask what lakes DONT have crappie as opposed to what lakes DO.
