Fishing local pond

Fished local pond in Marlborough,MA. Hager Pond located near route 20, has thousands of cars passing by this pond. Fished here and got ten bass. Small pond with rocks around shoreline and in the middle of the pond. Water has weeds but fishable.

On a Mission

This time of year mean changes the way bass feed. Now is the time to fish shoreline and your chance for a big bass is in your favor. Fished last night at Assabet River. Arrived at 5:30 pm, first bass at 5:40, got ten more, last one at 8pm.Biggest four pounds.

At launch area, I tripped on an untied shoe lace, landed in the water. PFD inflated, I jumped up - to my surprise my wallet was dry, cellphone o.k.

Maine smallmouth bass

Leaving tomorrow with my friend Gillbuster aka John Mediga going to Fryeburg, Me. Meet up with Fly Tackle aka Alec Stansell. Catch dinner at the pond his cabin is on. Next day they are taking me to a smallmouth bass heaven. They are going to blindfold me so I won't know how to get there. There was talk they were going to kill me so I definetly won't be able to tell people where this pond is.

All I know it better be worth it. Or maybe they will just blindfold me and then release me on Monday to get home.

A quiet evening to reflect

Was on the pond August 23, decided to fish with the light rod old Scientific Anglers System 6 (glass rod). Atlantic Salmon Bomber. The outfit was a joy to use, it was a chance to go back into time. Today rod manufacturers want you to believe that stiff fly rods is what you need. Stiff graphites make you do all the work but it should be the rod that works. In the old days you never heard of people having wrist, shoulder, back problems from casting. Look at the ads of today Glass rods are coming back with high price tags. Save your money look at yard sales and ebay.

About the fish they aren't huge. They did manage to put a deep bend in the rod and a joy in fighting the fish, almost into the grip.
