Wanted to pretty much sum up how we've been doing so far, lakes and ponds we fish include:East Twin lakes, Indian lake, Lake Wononscopomuc, Mudge Pond, Long Pond, and Wood creek
with the best luck so far being at East Twin, Mudge, and Indian have also been good as well..
So far the bite has been average for this time of year, fish ranging from 1-5lbs. usually about 10 Bass a piece on average a night. Baits we are using so far include: Crankbaits, Spinnerbaits, and 6-8" rubber worms, fishing in and around logs, weed lines, lily pads, any kind of shallow water/cover pretty much.
On a side note we have been doing very well using the rapala dt series CB's 2-4ft divers in baby bass, bluegill, and perch shades, and similar Bombers and Bandits.
Seeing more and more fish on beds, so if we cant get a bite going dropping 6" weightless t-rigged worms in or around these beds usually will do the trick.. I know alot of people disagree with that and I'll probably get some crap for it, but it beats getting skunked if you gotta just get a couple out of your system.
So all said and done we've been having an average year so far, bite has slowed recently for obvious reasons, but not enough to keep me away!! Can't wait for some hot muggy summer nights to throw some topwater baits(my all time favorite lures)
Good luck out there,
Bill
