Hope everyone checks the ice as they wander off shore. This could be a very dangerous opening day!

1. I'm waiting for the weekend - event though the ice is "safe" where I usually go

Still waiting for the Kennebec to freeze up for smeltin'...

2. I WENT TO RANDOLPH LAST MONDAY

WHEN I CROSSED THE BRIDGE FROM GARDINER WE SAW SHACKS ALONG THE RANDOLPH SHORE LOOKING UP RIVER. THEY WERE ON ICE CLOSE TO SHORE. ABOUT 6 OF THEM.

3. Went fishing Saturday - nothing - only wind flags

:(

When Worthing's opens up - I'm there...

4. haven't been yet

Just getting over my first cold of the winter. Think I got an extra present from the grand kids over the holidays. Hope no one else gets it -is a doozy!
I'll be trying them this friday.

5. Went smeltin' down at Bowdoinham (Riverbend) yesterday - caught 42 *big* ones

They were all 8-10 inches long - some of the biggest I've ever seen.

Only caught 3 on the set lines - caught the rest with my jigging rod.

I'm gonna wait for warmer weather b-4 I try again. They are doing good in Brunswick for smelts-oldest boy is doing good there. He's caught a couple trout as well in the race hole!
