First Post of My New Blog






Are you a fishing enthusiast? Or, a fan of the outdoors in general? This blog may be for you!

This is my first post; think of this as a companion to my YouTube channel. I've been making fishing and outdoor videos for a little over a year now. A lot of what I write will go along with the videos that I post. If you are already a viewer or subscriber, I hope you enjoy the blog!

If you happen to stumble upon this little blog, and know nothing of my channel, consider checking it out!

There also may be some content on here that has nothing to do with the YouTube channel. If you are interested in my channel, click on the link below:

I may also be doing a few posts referencing some of my older videos. Maybe I will even post non-fishing and outdoor posts!

Exploring the Abandoned Cascade Woolen Mill in Oakland, Maine

Image
Back in September, I was in the Waterville and Oakland area. While I was down there, I wanted to scout out a couple of fishing spots, mainly, Messalonskee Stream. Reason being, is that I heard that you can possibly catch northern pike out of this stream. I was trying to pick a good spot using only the Maine Gazetteer and Google Maps, using the satellite feature. I thought the Cascade Mills Rd. might be a good spot to check out, and looked like it had "sort of" a place to park. Driving down the worn asphalt, I could tell the road doesn't get much use. Then I could start to see a long building on the left, and it looks like the wall was torn right off. On the other side of the road, there are old brick buildings that have fallen apart. Almost everything is covered in graffiti. Despite the busy main road right at the end of Cascade Mills Road, no one came down this road. I didn't see anyone, and the whole place has a desolate, empty feeling to it. I didn'

Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Phillips Lake in Maine

Image
I've been by Phillip's Lake many times in my life, but only started fishing it last year. You can start to see it from busy Route 1A as you drive by the Lucerne Inn. Its surrounded by many hills and mountains; Chase Mountain, Fitz Mountain, Oak Hill, and Peaked Mountain just to name a few. My dad has many memories on this lake from his younger days. He knew many people that lived on the lake, or had camps there. At the public boat launch, a little ways out, there is a small island. On a dare, he swam to the island and back, and claims once he got out there, he started having doubts he could swim all the way back. As you probably guessed, he did, or else I wouldn't be writing this. Typically when I go fishing, I like to fish quiet places. This is quite the opposite. The shoreline is heavily developed with year round residences and seasonal camps. There's almost always constant boat traffic, especially in summer. Then there's the ongoing noise of traf

Fishing at Night with Black Lures

Image
I wanted to do a different kind of video, so I thought it may be fun, and interesting, to do a night fishing video using all black lures. They say bass feed at night based on vibration, sound, and silhouettes, and some say you should use black lures when fishing at night. So let's put that theory to the test. I did catch a few largemouth bass, nothing to brag about, but I did  catch some when it was totally dark, on black lures. I also had a few topwater strikes but was unable to set the hook. I was hoping to catch more than I did, but it was interesting, nonetheless. The fishing has been a little slow, and a little off lately, and the water level is much lower than usual...not that I am making excuses or anything! The only lures that worked were the Heddon Super Spook Jr. (Black shore shad color) and the Booyah Moon Talker Spinnerbait, with a shortened Berkley Powerbait worm as a trailer (black in color). I had high hopes for the black Jitterbug, but for some reason, it
