Just got back from the yearly trip to Moosehead lake in Maine. Couple bad days, rain and wind - but we did get a few days of nice weather. We got some decent lake trout - they call them Togue up there. Last year we caught a couple brookies and a salmon - none this year - all lakers
Pic of my brother Terry with one of lakers - they were all 14 to a little over 18, we released all of them.

Looks cold Larry lol. Must be a great time up there. I never really spent any time in Maine except for on the coast.

Sounds like you had a good time fishing with your bro. How did the new boat run?

We had a few nice days, got up to 70, but it was a bit cold on the water early in the AM. New boat worked out well, installed downriggers over the winter, most of the time we were using the elec trolling motor. The remote control and spot lock on the new trolling motors makes trolling pretty hassle free, once you get used to using the downriggers.
But, long haul - a little over 8 hours each way. We will prob try something else next year.
