South Watuppa Pond Fall River, MA Fishing Report

10/20/12 - Avid Anglers @ South Watuppa - Fall River, Ma

This was my last "scheduled" tournament for 2012, but 2nd to count toward Avid's 2013 season. Four previous tournament visits here hadn't left super excited about this one, but that's all part of the game. Gotta be able to be consistent wherever you fish. At my usual club spot as Co-Angler, and I had boater Mike today. Weather started as misting, but very humid. Wind slowly developed all day, and Sun was out by 12:30 which didn't help the bite at the end of the day. Water temp was about 59 all day, and the water level was down over a foot.

So the area we would fish most of the morning had bait around with depth range of 1ft-6ft, with plenty of big rocks (I know rocks in Watuppa, big surprise, lol). Mike had a keeper about 30 mins in while retrieving his brushhog. That keyed me that a reaction bite might be what would work. Tried a chatterbait, and buzzbait for hour with no results. When the wind had started to build, I picked up my white spinnerbait, and that's when it all came together. I had 3 keepers with-in a half hour, which convinced Mike he should be throwing the same thing. we both had our limits by 930-ish, Culling by 10am. Also in mix were monster Pickerel, none smaller than 2-1/2lbs, mostly 3lb-4lb range! Every fish we caught showed signs of feeding up well. About 11am, after culling 4 times I would have my final bag. Mike upgraded twice toward the end of the day. We both caught about 15 Bass, and 10 Pickerel each. Now this does sway my opinion of this place, but its nice to have a productive day like this. Mike ended up 5th place I think with 8-1/4lbs. 1st Place 9.77lbs, 2nd was 9.60lbs w/ a lunker 3.61lbs, I rounded out the top 3 with 9.39lbs. Not bad for the back of the boat! I'm just happy to finish the season being consistent
