Somewhere on the Northshore, MA Fishing Report

5/8/13 - W/Shawn(Bassasin) At His Honey Hole

Out of work early on a rare occasion. Saw Shawn was heading out on the water, so I ask to join him, and he obliged. His Beaver Fever outfitted rig is slick! We fished about 3-1/2 hours (4pm-7:30pm) expecting rain the whole time that never came. Just gusty winds from time to time. Fishing wasn't outstanding, but it was steady for the most part once we got a little pattern going. Most were caught on some form of Shallow crankbait, Shawn getting the biggest one on that technique at about 1-1/2lbs. I lost one about 1-3/4-2lbs on a scatter rap. I got a few on the jig up to 1-1/4lbs. The biggest of the night came as we motored to a cove, I spotted a cluster of big rocks, with some stick-ups around. Before Shawn could put the trolling motor in water I had cast, and had the fish on. That short fat Largemouth weighed in a 2lb 13oz. All in all it was a fun night, with us catch about a dozen Bass each, with a couple eager perch mixed in, and our best 5 probably was in the 8lb range. Fun night, thanks again Shawn!


No problem John. I can cross you off of my Maff members to fish with list. Now here's my version.
Well John missed the rain. I got there about a half an hour before him and it down poured on me for about 10 minutes. It didn't rain after John got there so maybe it's him. Then all that stuff that he said happened. A common practice among fishermen is to try each others setups. He hands me a denalli rod with a shimano curado and I immediately notice how freakin light it is. Then I notice it's righty. I fish lefty so it was weird. I make a cast, crank the scatter rap and bam! Fish on. LOL I caught a dink. That's one sweet setup. I think I'm going to make a no casting until the trolling motor is in the water rule.
