Hi all,
I was planning on heading up to the upper reaches of the St. John, either Baker or 5th St. John, to try to do some muskie fishing (I know the fish are smaller but more numerous there, more looking to cross it off my list before really trying for big ones). I've fished between St John Plt and Van Buren before and know that section has some decent (if not in great numbers) smallmouth, but I haven't heard if they've made their way into the upper river yet. Any of you come across any up there? We aren't keen on wasting a day or two just chasing smaller muskies without the option for bass, and it's a long ass haul from SoPo to Fort Kent (it's long to get to Baker/5th too, but not quite as much and at least its not all highway miles).
