Went up to northern maine this weekend to do some plumbing work/ fishing for a friend who bought a place on grand lake. Place was right on the water so I set my traps up while I was working and my buddies wife watched the traps. Fishing was slow, had one jaw jacker go off the first day and had what I think was a big salmon but snapped my line and the second day got a nice 23” salmon out of the same hole, fought like Crazy. Caught some decent cusk but the salmon was the highlight because we can’t catch them in the winter🙄 Got to make some money and fish at the same time can’t beat that. Ice was 3’ thick the auger barely made it through

Good to know, jibbs. Any size? I've always heard crazy numbers in that area but a lot of 14-16". Also, I'm there June 13-19, hopefully water temps are okay. And not really a fan of pulling females off beds all day long, if I hit the spawn dead-on.

I talked to a local at the lake about the summer months and bass, he told me grand lake has a huge population of bass and said he has regularly pulled out 4-5 lb bass. I might have to take another road trip to find out for myself!

My family has a camp up there. We don't often target bass, but you can get a lot trolling close to shore. They love Bomber crankbaits. I've seen multiple smallies over 4 pounds come out, but none in the last couple of years.
