Hey everyone. I never have any luck early season. Usually throw the boat in late april and never catch anything. Any tips on where to fish in central maine area during this time of year? We live in Bangor area.
I usually stay out of moving water early in the season. We like to fish small mouth on the Penobscot up north of Milford during the summer time. Never had any luck when the water is super high. We fish ponds usually but like I said the fish dont bite. SucksI appreciate peoples help. I take my teenagers fishing alot. We are not professionals by any means.
Flat line minnows and troll slow. Even right after ice out you can catch just fine doing that. Also mindset is everything early season, if you think the fishing is going to suck then you will fish poorly or give up early. Also helps if you target the cold water stuff early. Lakers for example are agressive all year round most days.I second squarepants suggestion. I landed 7 pike, 1 bass and a couple perch past two days. All on a jerkbait aside from 1 pike on a lipless crankbait.
Luckycraft all the way!
