2012 July 27 - Maine Loons
We decided to try fishing on Echo Lake. It was a sunny hot summer day and the fishing was terrible! We didn't catch anything but we did get to see a loon with a baby. It was the first time ever I have seen a mother loon with a baby.

2012 June 30 - Maine
The fishing had slowed down in the second half of June so we decided to go out fishing in the morning instead of late afternoon. It was a perfectly calm morning and we got out fishing by 8 a.m. As we made our way to our fishing spot, we passed a group of ducks still sleeping on the rocks.

We were catching a few fish but nothing too noteworthy until we got to the backside of an island. I was casting to lillypads and on one cast I got a strike immediately and as I reeled my line in, it felt very odd to me. I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled my rapala out of the water - I had caught 2 perch on the same lure with that cast, one on each hook!

I guess that is what I like about fishing, you never know what is going to happen.
I caught a smallmouth bass and a dragon fly on the same cast. |
