Super User Jigfishn10 Posted September 30, 2011 Super User Posted September 30, 2011 Is the Home Depot parkig lot on the corner of Rte 109 & Rte 126? Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 1, 2011 Author Super User Posted October 1, 2011 With the exception of Rhino we can all meet at the Home Depot right at the 495 Bellingham exit. If we leave HD at 6:00 we can meet Rhino at the Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (Webster Lake) town ramp at 6:30-6:45. There will be room for all in either Grampa's or my truck and you guys can leave your vehicles at Home Depot. All set for a little grub and chat after, no need to bring anything other than yourselves and gear. Looking forward to another fun day. Tate Quote
tate Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 126 is the Bellingham exit ......at top of the 495 northbound ramp turn left on 126 west .... go over 495 and HD will be on the left. Quote
tate Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Good day today men! We all caught fish and some very good size ones at that. Grampa walked away with the Multi Specie award boating 7 of them, no surprise there. Grundle straightened that Heron out early with some strong catches first thing this morning and under the watchful eye of the big bird. It was alot of fun fishing with all of you again and trading stories during apres fish. The weather certainly did "dampen" this groups spirit even though at one point grundle was under his poncho like it was a tent. Another good get together for Eastern Mass III, The Saga Continues.

Jones508 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Yup another good one gentlemen! Had a blast today and learned a bunch from my sherpa. Pickerel were super active and some nice bass were caught too. Thanks again for the great sandwiches as always. Great to meet Jigfishin as well. Now lets see those pics! Grampa1114 with a nice one Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 1, 2011 Super User Posted October 1, 2011 It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed meeting you all. Thank you all again for your hospitality. I especially want to thank Rhino for letting me fish off his boat. He is truly a gentleman. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 1, 2011 Author Super User Posted October 1, 2011 I won't be a "gentleman" if you don't post a picture of that bass which was the hog of the get together. Rain dampen our spirits? Not mine. Though that last cloudburst took about three minutes for the bilge pump to remove it all. Quote
The one that got away Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Nice to see some good fish were caught, guys. Wet/cloudy conditions can be real productive as I'm sure you all know. What lures were working best today? Quote
grampa1114 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This is the best gettogether to date. Excellent company. Well performed guiding by the boaters. A great showing by the non-boaters(good job Jonesie). Another great nosh. All around fine performance by all.....If you missed this event and you really wanted to be there...Chime in anytime...Everyone is welcome..... Grampa Quote
tate Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 There was a mix on the lures ...... I caught all of mine on a weighted and unweighted 5'' Watermellon blk/red flake Senko. I was also throwing lipless rattle cranks and some other soft plastics. If I was a betting man I'm thinking the Sluggo's produced. Grundling also produced some nice fish today .... good job Grundle! Glad to have you on-board ... Tate Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 2, 2011 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2011 I tried 3", 4", and 5" weighted Senkos in black, black w/ blue flake, watermelon red/black flake and pumpkin red flake. All produced fish. The lighter colors may have also produced fish, but since I didn't try them, who knows? The biggest fish of the day 4.8 pound largemouth was caught on a tube. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 2, 2011 Super User Posted October 2, 2011 I didn't have a great day as far as catching bass, I know of at least 5 I swung and missed on with one being a really nice fish I missed on 2 consecutive casts. My hit to miss ratio was worst than Carl Crawford's for the Sox. I finally broke the ice with "Old Faithful" and walked the dog for my first of the day about mid-way thru the outing a healthy 1-1.25 lber. Not big, but satisfying to say the least. Towards the end of the outing I went back to the tube I missed all my fish on, a Yum F2ube in virgo red. It was the only one working for me with the exception of the topwater: Here's the results of what was turning out to be stupidity for not switching it up earlier to persistance/determination that this tube was gonna work: The majority my bites came on c-rig as we focused on structure off the bank for a good part of the day and this 4.8 lber was on a t-rig right up against the bank of an island. If I recall, this bank really had no shallow area to speak of, but had a nice drop-off. I also recall that the fish was located near or under overhanging branches. Quote
grampa1114 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Well...with us...8 bass and many very large pickerel...oh yeah....perch,bluegill,red eared sunfish, green sunfish along with large and smallmouth bass...and the big bass was 4.2...more important than what were throwing, was where we threw stuff.....we were aiming at the windy side of barren dropoffs from 3-4' into 6-8' of weeds...that was our key. We were also throwing 4-5" center weighted dark Sinkos, alewife colored Sluggos and Finess Fish were also producing. Grampa Quote
The one that got away Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 So it sounds like the plastics were working pretty well. Good job guys. I took last week off and did get some time in the canoe, all early mornings. Tues was Carpenter Reservoir in Northbridge (good day), Wed at Meadow Pond in Northbridge (unbelievable action, as always at that spot), Thurs was Whitehall with minimal takers on the end of my line, and Friday I basically took the shnozz at Singletary in Millbury (only two perch - one on a double tail hula grub and the other on a 1/2 ounce spinnerbait, of all things). There are no boat ramps at Carpenter or Meadow. The bow of my canoe is always available if anyone's ever interested. I've got a trolling motor so no paddling is required. Couldn't go along to Webster on Sat because my kids had sports. Hopefully I can catch up with you guys someday. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 2, 2011 Super User Posted October 2, 2011 Rhino was a fish catching machine on our (his) boat. I lost count on how many he caught. He caught LMB, SMB, pickeral and 1 or 2 bluegill. It was a lot of fun to be with a bunch of guys you converse with on an internet site. Just being able to put faces to a bunch of guys posting on a fishing thread was a tremendous experience. Quote
GrundleLove Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I joked with jones that I was going to have to photoshop out my double chin in this picture...so i did..lol Also. here is my large and in charge pickerel. Quote
Jones508 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 ahahahaha that's good stuff. I didn't know you were a blood! Quote
