if that's the case then I endorse shotgun fishing for musky...why should Vermonters have all the fun?

What are we going to do nuke the fish river chain...not likely.

Jack smelt lives up there and says no. howevery he has told me he has seen fish caught below the falls. Thats not too far away in the grand scheme of things. I guess there is talk of erecting a concrete barrier to let only salminoids through (at least in theory.

why spear when buckshot will do the job? seriously, the whole shotgun season in other states is pretty f-ed up if you ask me.....how would waterfront homeowners react in Maine if their early morning tranquility is shattered by wahoos in the nearby cove gunning down finning pike and musky....I'm guessing anyone pushing for that legislation isn't gonna get too far...I think I read an article in the Northwoods Journal or Sportsman's last year that was in favor of a season...I couldn't believe it.

apr.1st to june 30th ,spearing snagging and bow and arrow may be used as long as the arrow has barbs. good practice for deer season. weav i think im moving to the county ,maybe become a hermit in the allagash ,and hope i never see a pike or musky,fat chance of that !!!!!

I'll go...just let me trade in my p.o.s. explorer for a real 4wheel drive vehicle

down here in mass we WANT the pike and muskie because all the other fish we catch are under 8 pounds. wish we had all the fish u have up there in every lake

toguebuster · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 26, 2005, 10:00 PM »

come on up and catch as many as you want,we dont want them or need them.

jacksmelt71 · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 02, 2005, 04:45 PM »

t.b thats your opinion!

toguebuster · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 02, 2005, 05:56 PM »

i have a hard time believing you want them in the fish river or the allagash? if you do dont speak that to loud up there ,they may hang you!!!!

mainegator · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 03, 2005, 09:17 AM »

Jacksmelt, do you live up there in the ftkent and have you fished for musky. Down here around great pond, we love the pike. great fish and it has helped the overall fish size to increase. We are now catching perch in the two pound size and the little pipsqueak perch are thinned out. I'm wondering where some decent musky fishing can be had up there and how hard is it to get into those boundry lakes. Any guides up there you think would be good to contact. Pike are wonderful fish and an excellent addition to the varity of fishes available, I'm glad the state has gotten those fish in this state. now if we could just get some walleye that would be heaven
remember to return those big ones so they can keep the lakes restocked

The Wardens will keep an eye on you for that comment. I believe the same comment was made about White Perch in Moosehead.

Yeh, its people with with attitudes like yours that are going to be the demise of this states fisheries...that is the absolute worst outlook on this subject I have heard.

And oh yeh..."I'm glad the state has gotten those fish in this state" they didnt, and they dont want them!

"great fish and it has helped the overall fish size to increase"....what are your catch rates up there big fella? Last time I enquired it was something like 20 man hours per fish (any fish)...thats the sign of a great fishery to me! (sarcasm)

now what kind of thing is that to say? is he not entitled to his opinion? hillbilly or not?

cdc · « **Reply #28 on:** Apr 03, 2005, 03:35 PM »

so just how did the pike and musky come into maine?? by a bucket?? right they came from the mid west or canada in a bucket...I think that they came in from a tank on a back of a truck some 30yrs ago...they only people that can do that is the state...
I like they pike and would love to target musky and the way I see it is that they are here and will proly stay...lets go fishing..cant wait till the ice goes out and I can go cast for them..

Guess that "kill all might" fits in that train of thought.
