jwo1124 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 It's been a while since I could stand outside and cast a line for a few hours, but I picked up my new 2008 fishing liscense today and I hit a local pond. The ponds around me have been completely thawed for a couple weeks, but the area I was fishiong today has been thawed out for a few weeks. Its the sunniest place on the pond, and it's right near the ramp. When I got to the spot, there was an older guy there sitting in his truck parked right next to the ramp watching his rod which he left outside, probably with some Power Dough on it for stocked trout. I walked a little down the bank out of the way so I wasn't fishing on top of his line, and after about 6 casts I get a salmon to hit my X-Rap. The MA WIldlife stocks trout and salmon, and this guy was a nice fat three pounder. After that I caught a bass in the shallows from shore. It was around a pound, put up a better fight then the salmon though. I left after that, because even though the thermometer says its in the 40's, when the wind hits you, it still feels like 20 outside. But I left happy. I caught a bass and a salmon in the same day, about 50 yds. away from each other. Quote
