I'm north of Bee by about an hour. I don't know anyone else who fishes for "black sunfish" or just "sunfish" in these parts. The great thing about crappie up here is that they are in the same waters...

My wife wanted to kayak a lake we grew up on as kids. Found an old beaver house with lots of bottom structure and once I found the right depth, it was good fishing. Caught a smallmouth and largemouth...

Very nice - they sure aren't doing well north of Bangor yet, or I haven't found them.

Absolutely amazing! Since my last post, almost all the lakes within a 50 miles circle had ice out between the 18th and 22 of April. I'll be trying one of the ponds Sunday.

Just got back from ice checking and don't think many of the crappie waters north of Waterville, ME, will be open before the end of the month. There are factors that would help open them, but none,...

Just checked two lakes that are usually out by April 20th and will check Silver Lake, Bucksport tomorrow. Pushaw Lake and Perch Pond have over a foot and a half of clear blue ice covered by a foot...

Watching several ponds and lakes in north central Maine and it's going to be a bit before we see any open water. The average ice depth on most north of Bangor is about two feet, under the slush. For...

My wife wants to go with me and paddling in-sync isn't going to happen. I'm looking at the Hobie Mirage Oasis. It can be used as a twofer or single, weighs the same as an Old Town Predator, and since...

Just to throw my 2cents in - I read through the posts and wholeheartedly agree with the "try them out" first comments. The qualifier is "if you can." When I bought my WS Commander 120, there was no...

Some here in Maine, read "Tim Sample," call those red hotdogs bait!

I haven't run into anything like those up here in the greater Bangor area. Lot's of nice fish, but mostly in the 1 to 1 1/2lb class. We're running 36" to almost 40" of ice in this part of Maine.

Welcome Johnson! As an owner of Johnson products, including a nice kayak, it's nice to see you as a sponsor.

I like Crappie.com because I can see who's on here from Maine.

Best I can do is tell you that when marathon training back in the 80's, I used to run from Pioneer Avenue in Caribou to the Post Office in Washburn. My other route was from Caribou to Loring, where I...

I'm using a Carlisle Magic Plus CF 240. The extra length is nice when sitting on the high seat of the WS Commander 120. Zero slop at the joint even though it's taken apart after every use, nor is...

For all the reasons stated a kayak is my first choice. Some of May 10's catch.

Check for deep gouges on the bottom, that's about it with any plastic boat. Boat landings are especially tough if a concrete or asphalt drive. I try to run mine up on a beach at landing. One nice...

With your stature, take a look at the Wilderness Systems Commander 140. Not a light-weight at 70lbs +/-, but it tracks well, is smooth paddling, and you get tons of room. Loaded capacity is 475lbs...

I've been a kayak fisherman for many years and have had far more success than from a boat. I still troll, but have a tendency, with no motor, to get in closer to the shoreline. Since we're limited to...

Wonderful having a partner like that. For our 40th last year my wife bought me a Wilderness Systems Commander 120 to replace my Dirigo 106 Angler. As substitute teacher, I was wondering what to do...

Having a day off on a weekday means I have a lake pretty much to myself. As a kayak fisherman it means no wakes or dealing with in-shore trollers. I'd gone to one lake in central Maine known for...

My crate was purchased at Home Depot for xmas 2011. Dimensions are 15 1/4L X 13 3/4W X 10D and the thing is heavy. I think my wife paid $7 for it and not sure if they still have it available....

I put the bow cover on order. Since the store didn't have any in stock, they ordered it for me and are giving me a percentage off. It paid to buy local, especially since I would have waited anyway....

Thanks so much - that's what I thought. I get hammered by the sun as I also bicycle so something to provide a touch of shade will be nice. I bought a couple of loose fitting SPF 50 shirts a couple of...

Is your bow cover the one without the bag? The bag cover looks considerably shorter and is a bunch more expensive. I just want to keep the water out, at least while it's under 50 degrees, which it...

I'm 6' and 185. My two boats are an Old Town Dirigo Angler 106 (10'6") SIK and a Wilderness Systems Commander 120 purchased last summer. When researching for a bigger boat with more capability I knew...

The rod rack looks great. Up here in Maine we're only allowed two rods so that's all I put in my Commander. How do you like the front cover? I was out on 40 degree water yesterday with up to an 18"...

Thanks for the welcomes. Been over the site and picked up a lot. Alas, I drove into Mud Pond and Pushaw Lake (neither listed as having Crappie) and there's plenty of ice left. I'm thinking another...

You're right about the smaller trout fitting the "pan sized" definition, but they are considered a game vs pan fish. I don't like the distinction but..... On the Maine.gov website there is an "ice...

Looking to learn and try something different. I hooked a crappie while fishing for white perch and found the taste right on par, maybe a little softer meat. I fish from primarily from a Wilderness...
