Ma Fishing

[tlkilian]

Is it just me or is fishing still really slow here? The water temp. seems unusually cold for this time of year.

Got out for a couple hours in Hingham: not so much as a bite. Water temperature around 44 degrees.

The lakers & smallmouths are hitting great on the Quabbin. Crappie & yellow perch are doing well on some western ponds. Decent spring if it weren't so late with the ice just out only about a month ago.

I guess I'm doing something very wrong then.... Means I'll have to keep trying...

I've been having awesome luck so far this spring. I've been fishing structure and some of the shallower coves of the lakes I fish. Just have to fish slow!

I am honestly having the best spring, not just quantity but quality size fish.. feel like i am being spoiled

 

 

those 2 were caught tonight, one on the left was 4lbs 12oz

everything for me has been caught on those powerbait swimbaits in firetiger. They absolutely destroy them.. Good thing their only $2 and change for a pack of 5.

Awesome fish, you've been killing it this year. So far I've got one LMB one rainbow and one pickerel.

Whatever you prefer to use just use a real slow retrieve. I'm keeping my bait right above the bottom knipping the weeds a bit.

 

 

 

 

i dunno if its the smell of the powerbait or what.. but they enjoy these to say the least... Wal mart stocks em.

Brian can you get a boat in where you are fishing?

[tlkilian]

Well there's my problem. I've been fishing mostly reaction baits, cranks and spinners to be exact. And while they still catch some fish, it's mainly just dinks (or one very aggressive, very large pickerel). I guess I'll just need to tie on some shaky heads or jigs.

sure can, just not exactly sure where the launch is on this lake. Ive seen people on boats trolling around so their is atleast one.

Have not caught much of anything in the small ponds. We had a long cold winter, I bet the fishing will be a little less great this year

[InfamousBG]

Been fishing a good amount around some of the ponds in Plymouth MA where my parents live and the bass have been exciting. Been throwing spinner baits and senko worms. Top water works as well.
