You don’t need to ask. After all it is January in Maine aren’t we supposed to have snow and cold? How cold, you ask; around eight below zero Fahrenheit this morning. The most impressive thing about this cold wave was how it arrived. Yesterday morning when I got up at 5AM the temperature was thirty one, five hours later at 10 I went out and discovered that the temperature had fallen to 10 on a stiff northerly wind. Not a fun day to be outside.
Every year for the last several Stripers Forever has surveyed its membership about the striper fishery. The results reflect my fishing last summer. (It is nice to know it was not just me or my clients or this corner of the world) You can view the results at this linkon their website. There are a number of interesting comments from anglers up and down the coast.
I needed to attend a meeting in Millinocket on Wednesday. The usual plan for me at these sorts of things is to drive up, attend the meeting and return home in the same day. One of our group had the good idea that we stay overnight and spend the next day on a snowmobile trip. I have not ridden a snowmobile very much and then only to accomplish some task like checking a cross country ski trail. So this was a new adventure for me. We spent the night at Twin Pines Camps in an excellent new cabin.
