Open water fishing yesterday
« on: Mar 25, 2008, 06:32 AM »
Threw my first lures of the year yesterday.  Don't worry it was in the Andro so it was legal.  Tried near the Sea Dog in Topsham for some pike for about a half hour.  Hooked a little iceberg one cast and almost had a heart attack thinking it was a huge fish.  Didn't catch anything, the water is wicked high.  Probably was a bad idea though, throwing those rubber shads out made me even more anxious for the striper run.

Nothing wrong with getting an early start on the open water fishing, Tommy T.
Next time, maybe that iceberg will be a nice fish.

It sure was a nice afternoon to try. Cormorants and a couple loons were busy chasing something around.  There was definitely some fish there.  Might try again this afternoon.
