Last fall I wrote about an encounter with a big pike where my equipment was not up to the task of land one of those big fish (An October Fish Story!). This spring I have been on the hunt with heavier gear, bigger flies and lures. This afternoon I succeeded in landing one!
Sorry no picture I was just too slow.
My early season fishing trips are always eventful if a little on the chilly side. Yesterday I eased down the river into White Oak Pond not in any hurry just looking around and seeing where trees had fallen into the river or any other changes of note. As I took the engine out of gear, I noticed a huge splash which of course caught my eye immediately. A few seconds later, another one in a line to the edge of the water was hard to tell what it might be so I stood up to see if it surfaced again.
Enjoyed a delightful afternoon with this couple from Texas on a Guided Scenic Maine Coast Boat Trip for my first trip of my 40th season. Breezy for a fact, chilly in the wind but sunny and warm most of the time on the water. Even got to see an eagle sitting in the nest!
