Nice size salmon. I'll take a hut on the lake rather than a 2 story cabin miles back in the woods. Lakeside property is cheap if you don't have road access. If you can drive a snowsled to an inland cabin, you can drive/boat to the lake. Back in the '70's and '80's I occasionally caught large non-silver male salmon with a huge hook bill. They tasted terrible. A guide friend said that they were the male version of the Atlantic landlocked salmon. I didn't buy it. I caught several male silver salmon that looked much different and tasted great. The old-timers said that these were the original landlocks that were only part of a few Maine watersheds connected to the sea (by river). The guide promised me that if I caught a female version, he would take it to the nearest fishery biologist. I finally did catch that fish, but he lied to me, only called the biologist and threw my fish away. I caught more fish than any ice fishermen in the area. I caught fish that biologists could not identify. Other fish that were not known to bite in the winter. Some of us believe I wrestled with a laker through the ice for 1 1/2 hours that may have been close to 50 pounds. There are in thar!

@@RandyCyr-k5g our cabin is about 500ft from the lake.

Flipping Salmon out of holes like pancakes!

[@colecaterino8515]

Do u look for any drop offs or do u just put your traps right under the ice on a gradual slope?

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Salmon can be almost anywhere. I do tend to look for some type of stricter near buy like rocky bottom, boulders, points.. areas they can push bait into. I’ve caught them over 80ft of water too..

[@Westernmassoutdoorboys]

Awesome we are starting to melt in mass

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Dang

[@Utah_Mike]

Excellent! What’s is legal to keep the salmon? Need some on the smoker

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

The smaller one might have been close, but the larger 3 were keepers. Once camp is done we will be doing that!

[@GabeMavs_AntlerMounts24]

Got my PB Salmon in June of last year

[@mattholden5521]

Nice salmon! Did you catch those on shiners or smelts?

[@Snoman506]
