I love the KVD 2.5s....Been killing bass on them for the last month.

What's everyone seeing for water temperatures out there right now?  These bass all must be staging/suspended at this point still?

The couple ponds I've been to so far show low 40's.

And apologies for the poor quality photo, out by myself and all I had was my phone..

I am fishing in a tournament on the 10th of May at Singletary Lake. I have not been there in a few years and was wondering if anyone has been there lately. If so, could you help with some updated info on what lures have been productive, and how the bite has been overall. Thanks for the help

I haven't ever fished it, but in case you're not aware of the mass.gov pond maps they generally have some decent information.

 

Here's a link to lake Singletary.  http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dfg/dfw/habitat/maps-ponds/dfwsingl.pdf

Been a long time but I think I'd fish around the island with the bridge going to it for signs of bedding Smallies. It's about halfway down the lake on the left. The pool at the top of the pond and the pool way at the bottom to the right, warm up first though.

fishing in the elements tonight with the rain... My buddy got this 5+ lber

[trupp30]

Thanks guys. Grampa. are your directions oriented from the boat ramp heading out into the lake? Any info on what lures and colors work best for Singletary? Thanks again.

[grampa1114]

Yes...No...you're welcome.

Hoping to get out and fish for the first time this season this weekend, what are you guys seeing? Water temps, spawn stage, etc.?

[Lostinthewoods]

I believe they're still in pre-spawn mode from what I have seen. I don't have accurate water temps but I have a hunch the water has still been a bit on the cool side. With the weather we're getting this weekend we should see some changes. Maybe even full on spawn? Just some speculation based on my observations out on the water.

Thanks Bud! How's your season going so far?

No bass today but got a few rainbows

[DogBone_384]

Been to the reservoir in Wampatuck State Park three times in the last couple of weeks, mainly to explore with my new kayak and get used to reading my fish finder, but overall have had no luck other than a pair of Crappie off a Rapala jointed shad rap that was 1/4 the size of the Crappie.

 

According to my fish finder, the water temperature is in the low 60's - which I think is a high reading.  So far Senkos, and spinner baits have been ineffective.  Methinks I need more practice & study of structure and such...  best of luck to everyone else.

[BR1AN]

the place i been going to this spring is still doing pretty good. Slowed down a tiny bit but decent bass still lurking

 

[mhtranger]

I think I know that spot. Never had any luck fishing from there. I will be going by there tomorrow morning and may have to give that another shot.

Powerbait swimbaits (slow) and Tequila Sunrise colored plastics were on the menu tonight.

[DogBone_384]

Got to BHR early this morning before work.  Finally seeing small bait-fish & panfish near the shore.  Caught one decent LMB by the gate house on a swimming Senko.  It's good to know there's still bass in there...
