Bob,

I live in Central Maine, Lewiston/Auburn Area. I fish for smallmouths all the time, and I can tell you they are very aggressive predators. They do have smaller mouths than largemouths relative to their body size. Also, they may not reproduce in your pond as they require rocky areas to do so.

Did you look at the link I provided on your previous topic. Try to identify the fish you are catching. Worms and a bobber with ultra light spinning gear should make the job fun. Let us know types of fish you have besides 11 smallies and the goldfish.
