Ron and I hit the lake yesterday with the goal to skip some of the stuff we usually fish and go exploring because we were not finding bigger fish. There is one area we idle through because of rocks and Ron saw some breaking fish off to the side so we stopped. There were no big fish but we caught a ton of 14 inchers before we headed up the lake. Kind of like a warm up. We ended up about 20 minutes away from the ramp and got into a few better fish late afternoon. We had not seen a boat for hours until we ran into a few Maine guides in the afternoon. It is amazing how quiet it is out there when there is no one around for miles. We were pulling off of a long point with the goal of heading back to the ramp when I saw a tree on the AT2. It bottomed out at around 50 ft. I fired a tube jig at it and was into a nice fish almost immediately and as it got neared to the boat I saw she had buddies with four more coming up. It was an interesting few minutes to say the least but we were running late and had to leave it after I saved a waypoint-we will be back to visit it again. The run back was a full out run and I made sure I stuck right on my trail on the Lowrance. The lake is a rocky old boat breaker and you don’t want to make a mistake. Oh, and the clouds of bait we were seeing appear to be young of the year Gaspereux. We threw a lot of stuff at them today but the tube and a dropshot picked up most of the fish. Mine was rigged on an Expride 7′ M, a 2500 Stradic with 15 lb Power Pro and a 10lb Mastiff Flourocarbon leader. See you on the water
