Bassin' At Buckmaster
went out to buckmaster pond in westwood for some morning bass fishing. decent pond for shore fishing right now as the water is so low you can walk around most of the pond without much hassle. bit of a slow start until I made my way out a little ways near a set of pads on the northern end of the pond. spotted a nice larry in a shallow cove near an old dock. threw a 5" black w blue flakes GY senko t rigged, let it fall to the bottom, lifted my rod tip and saw my line shoot out. I set the hook and pulled in a good sized largemouth bass. Then I noticed a lot of fish jumping in and around the lilys. water was really shallow so I could see the wakes of the fish really well. spotted a jumper and cast out the senko. started reeling fast until the lure hit the topwater and then ran it over the pads right where he jumped and BAM! hit it on the topwater. caught a couple more in the pads and then decided to change spots. I noticed a narrow peninsula across the pond with steep banks on either side that looked accessible. hit three more bass and one pickerel on my way out there and then three more from that spot. 13 hookups total and 10 fish landed, biggest one was maybe 16"; didnt have a scale but I'm guessing maybe 2.5 - 3 pounds. all in all a pretty good day.
