2016 June 19 - Fishing with my Sister Mary

Had a wonderful weekend in Maine with my sister Mary and her family.  Mary is not into fishing as much as me, but we did fish together some of the time when we were kids.  She hasn't fished in a long time though, so Frank was determined to get her out there this weekend. It was a beautiful sunny day when bass are typically hard to find, but he got her to the right location and she did catch a couple of nice bass.  She insists it wasn't really that big in person, but pictures don't lie - we can see it was a good sized bass!
Frank took her husband Dick out as well and he had a lot of fun catching  bass all over the lake.

2016 June 11-12 - Fishing with my brother George

We had a nice weekend fishing with my brother George. The weather was not the best, it was very cool, cloudy with sprinkles of rain on and off.  A  cold front came in and put the fish down so they were hard to find. George said he hadn't fished in awhile but we were amazed at the accuracy of his casts. He managed to cast into these little pockets in the brush along the shore without getting hung up and that was where the fish were hiding!

2016 June 10 - Fish are starting to bite!

Fishing has been slow this spring and the weather is unpredictable.  One day is cold and the next is warmer than usual.  We did catch these 2 nice fish and several other smaller ones so maybe the fishing is picking up!
