Captain
Wade Leavitt

Member since May 2025 Topsfield, United States
Background
I have been a lifelong commercial potato grower stuck in fisherman’s body. I’ve finally retired from farming, and I am now able to dedicate my time to my real passion and calling. I have fished in brooks and streams and oceans. Maine, Florida and the Keys enjoying the thrill of many species. plus 40 years of experience on Baskahegan Lake. This is a very rocky lake and can be tricky to navigate. I have used auto charting to map a large portion of this lake, which does not have detail charts or maps available in digital form.. this allows for precise boat placement and safety . Our fishing platform is no less than the best on the lake for comfort, stability, and protection in all weather. We aim to deliver Bass Pro performance with charter comfort. Maine biologists have been working diligently and it seems to be paying off. Our small mouths are getting bulkier every year with alewives and smelt as a rising food source. Also, the scenery is exquisite with vistas in every direction. With very little competition from other anglers there are times when I will be the only boat on the water and sometimes for days. We also offer the only dock access(private or public)on this waterbody as well as a rental cabin close by.
Techniques
I tend to throw many different colors of in-line spinners since we are dealing with shallows and rocks predominantly. This allows us to cover lots of water quickly. warmer weather can create better top water conditions for jitter bugs, and poppers. As it heats up site casting to swirls with fly presentation is a real treat. One can encounter all three species with this method. And of course there’s always night crawlers down deep, as well as the soft plastics, which are very popular with many people and seem to never miss. And if you have experience, of course you’re welcome to fish whichever technique suits you.
