The family fishing trip this morning started off with a sighting of a flock of eleven loons working over a school of perch on Megunticook Lake in Camden. As autumn gets going the loons gather where the fishing is the best so that we are often in the same places. There were other loons in other parts of the lake.
As we get late in the summer I spend many of my days fishing with families for perch. Often I anchor on a good yellow perch spot and go to work. But several times this week I have been able to get clients on to white perch chasing bait just like stripers. They chase a school of bait to the surface and you can see fish clearing the water as they feed actively.
Yesterday afternoon I was about to start a family fishing trip on Seven Tree Pond here in Union, when I cut the motor and was about to lower the anchor over the side of the boat I heard lots of eagle cries. I looked across the cove and could see an adult eagle in a tree with a young eagle perched right below it.
