Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 5, 2009 Super User Posted February 5, 2009 I'm in the Western end of the state and would just like to know who's around me . Where do you fish? What do you like fishing for? I'm a dedicated small mouth angler myself, but I also enjoy fishing for LM from time to time, along with walleye, northern pike and panfish. Quote

lunka4me Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Hi I am new to the site too, I am in Central Ma, and do mostly club tournaments around the state. Mostly largemouth, but now trying to get into the deepwater bronze fish. Quote
dallas0996 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I am in south central MA and do whatever fishing I can whenever....except ice fishing...I don't get it.... Quote
Ryanrn23 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I am in north central mass and fish all kinds of different lakes around the state, but mostly lake shirley and a little lake called Wampanoag those are closest and easiest to hit up right after work. Quote

xjma99 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I'm originally from western MA but now in live in Rehoboth in SE mass. If you tell me what town you're in I may or may not be able to point you to a hot spot or two... Western, MA is such a general term! I'm assuming that you're meaning the pioneer valley west....not Boston people's definition of western, MA, which they claim to be anything outside of 128! Quote
Dean Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Right here guys. Any of you fish on Congamond Lake, in Southwick ? Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 3, 2009 Super User Posted March 3, 2009 I fish a lot from Webster east towards the Cape... Love Watuppa, Cooks, and Sawdy... Quote

bass crazy Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 HI. I am in northeastern Mass and fish in New Hampshire and Maine. Quote
smallie.huntin Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I am from western mass and fish mostly for LM with the occasional SM. I fish a few different places out here but plan on hitting up plenty more when I have my own boat. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 4, 2009 Super User Posted March 4, 2009 I fish a lot from Webster east towards the Cape...Love Watuppa, Cooks, and Sawdy... Hey Tin, Those are all in my backyard. My home in Westport is only 5 minutes east of the launching area for Sawdy Pond. East on 177, right onto Sodom Road. What you may not know is there is a small pond, only a few hundred yards to the East of Sawdy just beyond the homes on Robert Street. It's my favorite, Devol Pond. It's about 1/4 the size of Sawdy, half as long, half as wide. It's surrounded by private property, but I have access to it. I enjoy fishing the others for a change of scenery, but none can hold a candle to Devol. It has nowhere near the fishing pressure of those other ponds. I am going out on a limb, but I'm that confident. If you'd like to fish it sometime shoot me a private message or an email. Ditto for any other member. Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 4, 2009 Super User Posted March 4, 2009 I'm in SE mass as well and fish Watuppa/cook as well as most spots in RI..I always have an open seat and will post up if anyone wants to join. My home pond is Milford pond in Swansea.. Hortonville Road. The Swansea Dam. Until I was ten, we lived in Swansea on Hortonville Road. The old Case High School was on Milford Pond. Continue on Hortonville Road going away from Route 6, and we were the fourth or fifth house on the right, past the pond. There is a cemetary at the corner of Milford Road, and Hortonville road. The store on the corner used to be Lovetts. Don't know if it still is. You sure brought back some memories. I used to fish in Milford Pond. My cousin and I would dig worms in the old neglected orchard behind the house, then continue through the orchard to the farm fields in back, then down to the pond. The farmer(s) had dumped stones from the field to make a causeway to what was once an island. That was the area we fished with bamboo poles, a cork for a bobber, and worms. One year the pond dried up to a tiny creek. It was probably due in part to a drought, and the Rezendes farm taking water from it for irrigation. Quote
bluewing Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I am in Templeton and hit Wampanoag, also called Camp Collier, a quite a bit though last year wasnt as good as 2007. Another favorite of mine is Whitehall reservoir which is in Hopkinton right where the Pike and 495 cross. I also had some luck in East Brimfield Lake and Long Pond at Rutland State park.. Just outside of Barre on 122.. Also went to Lake Cochituate in Framingham and had some luck though didnt get to fish it as much as I wanted to due engine troubles. I really want to go back there at is has a lot of shoreline thats undeveloped and lots or points and coves. The only problem with it is the angle of the boat ramp, its very steep. The ramp is wide enough to launch 15 boats at the same time but the angle is a little steep though it could be due to the lake being down a little when I was there. Check it out on Google maps and you will see all the coves and points I am talking about. Quote
sofakingbigbass Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 i'm from western ma...fish all over central and western ma Quote
Cigarlover 1 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I'm in North Central Mass. Some would probably consider it Western though. lol. I live in Athol and fish Lake Ellis a lot with my 14 ft flat bottom. I fish some of the ponds from shore and fish horseshoe dam at the Quabbin frequently. Sometimes I'll rent a boat on the Quabbin but without much experience and no electronics I don't make it out on a boat as much as I'd like. Quote
tritz18 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I fish around Concord MA. You boys getting ready for the spring thaw!!! ;D Quote
Saladmander Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 WMass guy here... from Holyoke. I like trout fishing in the early spring from time to time, I'll head down the CT river for some shad and stipers when they're running, I fish the river for smallies, but my favorite places are in the southwestern corner of the state from around the Otis area west to the NY border for smallies and largemouth. There's a handful of local places that I like when I don't really feel like driving or if I don't have a long time to spend fishing. I generally like fishing places out of the way, nice scenery, not congested. We take some vacation time in the summer and spend it in Maine around Sebago and do some fishing up there. The smallie fishing is outstanding. Quote
emti56 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I am in western MA in a little town called Lee right off I-90 many small lakes but fish Goose pond and Otis res. the most and have been to congamond a few times. Glad to see all the MA guys that are on here. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Super User Posted March 8, 2009 Right here guys. Any of you fish on Congamond Lake, in Southwick ? Yes, I've fished there a few times. Did very well on 2 occaisions, using the drop shot. Next time I went, I couldn't buy a fish! Nice body of water though. I especially enjoy the upper pond. It just gets a little crazy from mid-June through summer, with all the boating traffic. Quote
