Central or eastern Massachusetts is tough fishing! in pressured, high population suburbs, those fish are getting plastic and crankbaits tossed in there faced non stop, especially with covid... I basically never try power fishing on a baitcaster other than a frog ? early dawn or dusk... Its all about finesse!! Spinning rod with no more than 12 lb test... for my I like plastics of course , especially wacky rigged!! Slow and a little slack, I set my hook like Gary Yamamoto, finesse, let him eat it a little first. And for offshore in my kayake deeper Waters, it's all plastic swim baits. 3 inch Berkeley pre rigged swim baits are great. Berkeley powerbait pogy swim shad, I use a 7ft med light with 3000 spinning rod

I live in hudson. And fort meadow is the closest "big" lake to my house. It is super pressured , everybody goes there bombing lures, but even with the pressure I can sneak my kayake out there and finesse LM toads.... ? ... also tons of crappy boats will mess with fishing in the summer. Haha.. but I can leave my house and be fishing in 7 minutes with kayake in my truck. If you are up for SUN up or epic night kayake fishing.. send me a message and we can meet.. only sucky thing is parking. U gotta walk a quarter mile to the dock from parking... we used to park at a restaurant but they no longer allow parking because of lettering poop heads..

I believe a bass is going to eat the cray that stands out. So I like chartreuse and bright orange or reds.....

Thanks! Yes..these muscles are everywhere. The Gobi is in New hampshire lakes i think? Last year I had so much fun with smallies in New hampshire, wolvesboro area. FAT Smallies! I was finesse (med light Spinning) 8 lb mono straight with trick worms fished like a jerk bait. Off the kayake at a point I had 5 in a Row, suspended action the drop and and chartreuse with metallic flakes. My hometown ponds are super pressured. So going to New hampshire on a weekday with no boats flying around is just magic. I assume the Gobi has helped..

Fort meadow in Marlborough Massachusetts, I see these everywhere... there invasive? Wonder if bass munch em...
