This is a multi-state report!

Sal and I left the house at 3:30am heading for Quabbin Res. in Mass. Got there and headed out

aprox 6:30am. We started pretty close and in no time Sal was getting his first and second

Quabbin fish.

And here they are Smile

Here is a photo of a hole in the ground, submerged and surrounded by rocks. Not sure what it

was from...maybe an old well.

Heres Sal catching another fish.

and Sal with another

I did catch some fish, but nothing really worthy of a picture, yet. Right where Sal caught

that last one was where i had a real nice fish on. It was a nice (4lb?,maybe more) LMB and

pulled me for a couple small runs before getting back near the boat, taking off under the

rear of the boat, as im running around all over the decks .... <<<<< PING >>>>> Sad

Check out this fella who decided we were getting a little to close

Here is my first picture worthy fish. It was getting pretty late in the day, but this started

my catch up run

And next, another numbers advatage

Then, in the last hour, came the lunker of the day

I know, thats pretty sad for lunker, considering whats in the place, but ill take it Smile

Right around that last fish i hear crunching and wonder whats in the woods. Few minutes later

we see this guy standing there at the waters edge, just staring at us

I was kicking myself all day. We should have gone to Pog and tried froggin.... just didnt

turn out to be a very good day. Heres the kicker:)

Sal was falling asleep on the run back south from the far north and i didnt see the grass

hardly sticking up. I knew there was some shallow sandbars in this area, just didnt think i

was ON one of them yet!

Anyways..
We drive out of the lot at 7:30pm with plans already made to hit a lake in Ct on the way home

Smile

We get there about 9:30pm and plan on hitting it with jitterbugz, senko's and poppers. Within

the first half hour this stop would prove to make the trip to Mass pretty sucky Smile

Not a half hour after we got there i boated these two:

Heres a 4

Then there was the 5!

YUP, you heard me right. First HALF hour with the jitterbug.

Next, Sal gets the bait fish that fell out of the mouth of the 5 pounder Smile

He then plays around with a 3 pounder.

Another GOOD fish joins the fun Smile

Sals turn,

Next is a couple smallies Smile

Right about here, its midnight and my wife calls. Sal puts her on speaker and we all chat for

a good 45 minutes. Durring this chat we fish, move to another area, fish, then move back

where we were when she called and start fishing that area again. We catch nothing while

chatting Sad

Finaly we hang up the phone and plan on staying not much longer. Within 10 seconds i get a

hit. Here is the result:

I called her right back and yelled at her. I said never to call me while im fishing again Smile

I dont think we got much after that and ended up leaving around 2am.

Got back to the house at the same time i left just 24 hours before Smile

Sucks about your prop! Evil or Very Mad

I have to say I am always impressed by your fishing ability!
I really hope to hook up with you one day on the water...
I am sure I can learn alot from you...

Nice photos too! I am a big fan of the outdoor photos! Great shot of the eagle... That is what it is right??? Wink

Awesome job Rookie! Nice report and pics of your 24 hour marathon. Agree with you 100%, your CT fish made your MASS trip look bad.

Yeah Jon, if that was rocks or anything other than the gravel sand bar that it was, id be looking for a bottom end Sad

Im going for a drain and see if i got any water going in!

The skeg dug in and that was it for the prop. Luckily i was only about half throttle. I knew it came up in that area. The bottom of the boat never hit. Thats number 2 this year already!! First one was a floating tree at gardner on openning day Smile

I try and be careful up there in Mass cuz there are sahllows everywhere and now the water is about a foot lower than when i first went there.

And i wasnt in Guilford.

ctfishtalk, whats your name anyways? Im bad with names !

Thats an eagle alright. I couldnt get a good shot of him in the tree and just clicked away with the camera as he took off aross the area to another tree. I got a couple shots in the tree, but you can hardly pick out what it is.

Thank you for the compliments, but i dont feel that deserving Smile

I dont think youll learn much from me either Smile

You would be about 15 feet away and i am wide enough to hide secrets LOL

Just ask Sal! We worked hard in Mass. I started the day down a few and in the last couple hours i cought up and pulled ahead by several (5?). We put in alot of time. Thats all that you can do, is put in Massive amounts of time.

The night fishing was just the right place at the right time!

If you want to fish with me some time, im sure you would enjoy it. I usualy get smoked by new partners Sad

Maybe its time! Time for a trip up to Mudge for a afternoon froggin and night time buggin?

Dont tell anyone, but those swim docks usualy pay off BIG

Is that really the best picture of me with the 3#er? You flashed that camera in my face like 500 times. Rolling Eyes

I hate Mudge, don't think I ever caught more than 3 fish all day there. But, maybe I should give it another chance since I bought the frogs now.

Rookie, my name is Marc... ya, I would totally meet you at mudge. It's only 5 mins from my house. I know lyman would be interested in fishing with ya sometime as well... If you decide to come up for some fishing let me know and i can meet you there at the launch.

I grew up swimming at those swimming docks at the beach...
I always remember being freaked out from the snapping turtles over at that end.... Laughing
