We’ve been traveling to Cobbosseecontee Lake for 25 years. Other families we know have been fishing here for generations as well. We all appreciate that the lake is gorgeous and home to some of the best bass fishing in the state. However, the recent discovery of Eurasian watermilfoil in the lake has many concerned. If milfoil is not controlled, it can negatively impact the recreational use of the lake for everyone who enjoys Cobbossee. All of us who use the lake must clean, drain, and dry our boats before they go in and when they come out of the lake. And it’s best to use the public launches in Winthrop and Monmouth, where trained inspectors will doublecheck our boats, trailers, and gear and remove any invasive plants. ~ Mark and Coleen Fabrizi
