Maine Fishing Report For April 27, 2008

Region A – Sebago Lake

The regional fisheries staff has been out on Sebago Lake training our new seasonal census clerk, Bill Yeo. Bill will be interviewing anglers on the lake two days per week from now until the end of September, and the data will be used to evaluate the current status and future management of the salmon and lake trout fisheries.

Our expectation is that Sebago will produce some great fishing this year. Anglers can expect salmon in the 21/2-31/2-pound range and lakers in 21/2-5-pound class. However, we anticipate some trophy salmon in the six- to eight-pound range, as well as some lakers over eight- to 10 pounds. Read more

Milwaukee Charters And Let’s Play Favorites

By Captain Jim Hirt

In previous articles we covered the LTLR. Now let’s focus on three of my favorite lures.

In this article I would like to help you with what lures to run for a typical July or August trip on Lake Michigan. This is a very difficult question. Where I can’t possibly go into all species and all situations, perhaps I can define what I believe will catch fish 90 percent of the time. Please keep in mind that the best lure not properly presented will not catch fish. Read more

Who Wants To Promote Hunting And Fishing Anyway?

I might be a rarity when it comes to the hunting and fishing industry, at least from the perspective of the “consumer”. Hey, I’ll cut right to the chase and come out and say that some? many? most? anglers and hunters aren’t that interested in sharing their fishing holes and highly productive hunting grounds with “outsiders”. Just pretend for the duration of this article that you actually did care and see if you can get beyond your personal feelings long enough to understand some odd reasoning. At least my form of reasoning is having trouble with this. Read more
