Maine > Ice Fishing Maine

Late season fishing

(1/4) > >>

Gotta love New England. Fishing in 68 degrees temperature through 16" of ice after work today.  @)

I'm new to Maine.
In VT I only fished with traps and mostly caught pike and a few bass or hornpout.
2 winters in Maine so far (Upper Range).
Last year I got skunked. This year I caught 1 brookie (and lost 1 at the hole). Still mostly fishing with traps.
I finally caught my 1st fish ever on a jigging rod this afternoon (I'm 55 yrs old) . A 14" salmon on a chartreuse Road Runner (that I got from site sponsor MONSTERBASS).
It was a roller! The line was wrapped around it 4 times and it came up the hole tail first.

I'll be sad to see the ice go. I hope you all get a few more good days in before then.

Congrats on that 1st jigging trout!  Still no shortage of ice as of this week.  The rain, wind, and fog coming in this weekend may chew it up quite a bit.

Brian VT:
I just looked at Upper Range fish species to see what type of salmon it might have been.
No salmon listed.
I was a very dark colored fish with some dark maroon also. And the top jaw hooked down over the bottom jaw.
Looked like salmon to me.  ???

Fish Wayniac:
You never know a salmon might of got mixed in while stocking. Some of the Browns look similar .

More than likely a brown there.
