Lake Trout

Hot bite and happy crew! Kevin and their crew joined me for a winter ice fishing adventure on Sebago Lake during an early morning start in February. Partly cloudy skies made for perfect conditions as we set up for our 6-hour session. The ice was solid and safe, giving us excellent access to prime fishing spots across the lake with Tony Kariotis Guide Service running our Frozen Thrills adventure.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on ice fishing techniques including jigging and still fishing to target the lake trout population. Sebago Lake's deep, cold waters make it ideal for these methods during winter months, and the trout were cooperative throughout our session. The combination of jigging action and patient still fishing approaches worked perfectly in the icy conditions. We wrapped up the trip with solid catches and plenty of laughs shared around the holes!

Sebago Lake Ice Fishing: Frozen Thrills with Lake Trout Action

Sea Trout

Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on Sebago Lake with Tony Kariotis Guide Service was in full swing as I took Ed out for a day on the water. We launched early in the morning under clear skies, perfect conditions for targeting sea trout. Sebago's pristine waters were calling our name as we set out from New Gloucester, ME. The lake was calm, offering ideal conditions for our various fishing techniques. It was shaping up to be a great day with Tony Kariotis Guide Service.

With our gear rigged and ready, we kicked things off with some still fishing using live bait. This classic technique is always a solid choice on Sebago, especially for sea trout. We mixed it up throughout the day, switching to trolling with lures to cover more water and entice those active fish. When we wanted a change of pace, we'd head to shore for some casting. This variety of approaches kept things interesting and gave us the best shot at hooking into some sea trout. While we didn't land any monsters this time, the consistent action kept us engaged and enjoying every minute on the water.

Sebago Lake truly shines as a top-notch fishing destination, and it's days like this that show why. The mix of techniques we used - from the patience of still fishing to the active approach of trolling and shore casting - really showcases the versatility of fishing these waters. It's always a pleasure guiding on Sebago, where the fishing opportunities are as vast as the lake itself. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having experienced the best of what Sebago has to offer.
