Water Clarity: 0 I think I had the greatest day of my fishing life today at Messalonskee Lake. I started the morning out by fishing tight in the reeds and the mouth of the river and caught some pretty good pike but no bass. Usually that is a good area to fish but the slop really didn't pay off. Went to some docks late morning and caught a couple decent 3lb LM's. The real action did happen until I found a pattern I never would have believed. I had a "silver buddy" still hooked up from the last night tournament so I decided to throw it out deep and bounce it off the bottom. In the next 10 casts I got a 6.5lb, 5.5lb, 5.0lb, and 3 in the 3lb range. This was all in about 40 feet of water. Talk about a summer pattern! I went to a few of the bigger points and worked them with the same pattern in 30-50 feet of water and the same thing a couple more 5's and 3's all day. I could have easily put together a 20+ lb bag for a tourney. If you have the patience to fish deep and slow, I'm telling you go DEEP in this lake right now!
