Date Fished: 9/1/2006
Water Temperature: 68
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater A bittersweet return to the Pine tree state, many of our old hotspots were really chilly this year. The Veazie Dam was lowered so much that we couldn't float the boat off the trailer, that took away one of our favorite areas. The costigan launch did not produce bass as in the past, we caught a lot of pickerell but only a few smallies there. Old Town yeilded one three lb bass and several in the 1 to 1 1/2 lb, but the wind was so strong that after a few hours it blew us off the water. Hermon and Hammond ponds were choked with vegitation like I've never seen, nearly impossible to work lures. We rode around and the area has a lot of new development, that probably accounts for the increased vegatation. The last two days we went upstream to Medway and found bass. We took two 4 lb and several 3 lb smallies and many 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 bass. The larger bass came on leadheads with power grubs around the bridge piers. Most of the others came from under the overhanging trees along the shore on broken-back Rapalas and Pop-Rs
