Could there be a more perfect picture of a slime glop from a Togue? Perfect formation from fish to child! Click to view this work of art.

Love it!!!!

Awesome family time Jeremy. That pic is frame worthy. Lol.

You're back in the grove Jeremy, good to see the family involved again. :)

Just wanted to pop in and share some fishing stuff.
Been out about 4 days a week the last few, mostly fishing for salmon. No real early morning trips. Mostly, actually all fishing with my kids or friends kids. All afternoons for the most part. It’s been windy.
Salmon almost all have been on streamers, few on spoons and not that deep. Surface temps jumped to 60 the last few days, with the sun and wind, but its real cold down a few feet.
No real big salmon, but healthy. Been struggling on the big togue this year also. Not sure if it’s the wrong spots, or the wrong technique but the togue seem really small this year. Like catching 12-14 inchers and alot of them. Getting the typically 23.5 inch cookie cutters, but only a handful in the slot.
Seems like a good amount of people fishing this year in general. The few people I have been talking to have also claimed they are catching the smallest togue they have seen. 12 inchers. That’s not typical.
Couple photos of the kids.

Thanks for the report . Those are healthy looking salmon for sure. Looks like your having a great start to the year with the kids. Smiles for miles

Awesome, keep those kids fishing! Good to hear about salmon action, those have eluded me for a while. I know there are big ones in there, just don’t know where they are when not in the river on their spawning run.
Lots of small togue being caught though, Looks like the slot isn’t working, or people just aren’t keeping those smaller fish ::)

For me and salmon I don’t fish that lake lake I would or do any other salmon like. I never do a thing on rocky points, following shorelines, etc. I troll around with no real rhyme or reason in the middle of the lake.
I don’t have the link now, but the most reason salmon study done by DIFW have some interesting details on salmon runs.
As for the togue, I’m part of the problem. I don’t keep any. I like the action of catching something with the kids, and can’t stomach just killing and floating them away. What the hell am I going to do when it’s August and 90 and we catch a dozen 3-4 pounders?
I want to help, should I just kill em send them overboard?
-
Nice fish turnbuckle.
-
I don’t keep many fish myself either. I was just pointing out that it seems to be the pattern, less people are bringing fish home. I personally wouldn’t want to waste them either, so other than the pike, I’ve let just about everything go. I almost feel guilty for keeping the salmon I caught this year, it’s the first one I’ve caught in almost 3 years since I don’t get to fish the big lakes much, just fly fishing the river during fall, and that’s almost The definition of insanity in practice. It’s the only one I’ve ever kept, and I do have to say she was delicious baked with butter, lemon and herbs.
If I do keep fish, it’s usually invasives or from put and take places. Last year I did bring home two buckets of crappie (two different trips) and one badly hooked togue that was under the slot. Those I brought over to my family’s restaurant to be prepared and shared with family and employees.
Though I enjoy fighting pike, any caught from there gets fed to the eagles.

Sew the 12 inchers on and send them back.

Thought about it! I’m changing it up next week. Got some heavier rods, bigger lures, got the boat to go slower. Going to try some new things I’ve been reading about and break the mold. Can’t let you guys up there in the county be catching all the big fish this year.

Getting out four days a week is great. Especially with the kids. Good post.
-
You and your family have been staying on the fish. Awesome!
-
Got some decent salmon today middle of the day, high sun, at 38 feet down. Was surprised and didn’t expect much. Surface temp was on average 64 degrees, in around the beaches was 67. I went swimming for awhile today and it was pretty awesome.
Pretty good weekend. Caught a bunch of salmon and brook trout yesterday (sat) in the Moosehead region with my buddy, had breakfast (sun) in Greenville at the diner at 5am and was on Sebago reeling in our first salmon by lunch.

That is one great shot! Fantastic that she's getting out there with you.
I cannot wait until my little guy can join his father for a trip.

Great report and pictures! Hope you get into the bigger togue. Just about everyone I know who fishes it is struggling with small fish right now
