So i was going to put this in boating but its more relative to Massachusetts and figure i would find more help here. I bought a boat and trailer 3 years ago..... Well i never registered the boat cause i didnt think you had to with only a electric trolling motor on it also never registered the trailer cause the lake i fished on was a block away. I recently moved and have to travel a bit to the lakes. I figured now was the time to register everything and get it straight. I get to the DMV and the lady says i need the registration of the last person to register my trailer....its a tiny trailer..... I was like well **** i bought it three years ago from a guy on craigslist, and he told me he had bought it a couple days earlier from someone else... I had no clue what i needed for it and the guy told me the bill of sale would be enough. Yeah right..... No im stuck with a little SunDolphin pro 120 that i cant even use cause i cant register my trailer.... Any one else have this issue before, or anyone know of a loop whole..... Or was the lady at the DMV just clueless..? My only thought is buying a new trailer, but i dont want to buy a trailer that will cause more then my boat and trailer combine is even worth.... Thanks for any help guys!!

Anyone Fishing right now in MASS? Im in western mass my self and reletively new to fishing and i was curious how the bite is right now? Maybe people can throw in some stories, days catch totals and weights, baits used, etc...etc... Just passing the time as my buddies no longer will fish so im alone out here...lol

Thanks again guys I'm loving this site so far!!!!!

Thanks a lot man seems like a good basic start

For a few weeks the top water bite was great for me. I was using sammies and small mouth were coming out to play. Lately i havent been able to catch a cold...

Hey man im not real sure where your located in western mass but i fish around the greenfield area and i mainly fish lake mattawa in orange, there is bartons cove in Gill, then there is always the quabbin witch i here is one of the best small mouth fisheries in all of new england.

This is a list of my rods and reels.... reels: Abu Garcia Revo Sx 7:1:1 BPS johnny morris signature gold series LH 7:1:1 Abu Garcia SilverMax 6:4:1 Pfluger Trion Spinning Reel Rods: Shimano Crucial 6'10'' medium heavy fast action Abu Garcia SilverMax rod 6'6'' medium Cheap spinin rod 6' The way im currently using them now is: Revo SX paired with the crucial and 40lb braid.... I use it for pitching and fliping....also top water.... SilverMax paired on SilverMax rod and 20lb flouroCarbon....Cranking, spinning, softplastics, worm Pflueger Trion with cheap rod...10lb braid.....universal girlfriend rod...... Just bought the Johnny morris today....no rod I was thinking of using the Gold series on crucial for flipping.....Other then that im unsure of how to get the most universal use out of my gear that i have. Id be open to buying more rods, different line etc... I was just curious how you guys would utilize this gear if it was all you had for now....Id like to use the Pfluger spinning reel for something as well since my girfriend dont fish much.

ty guys

Thanks man!! Sorry ahead of time for my questions lord knows there will be a lot!

Hey guys Im Dan or MassBass, I was introduced to fishing at a very young age.. I also lost intrest at a very young age. Im 26 now and up until this season all i ever knew of fishing was bobber and worm catches me spikey bluegill, and jitterbug at night catches bass. Thank god for the internet cause i have been cast into a deep lake full of knowledge. I started fishing early spring and havent looked back since. I purchesed a small boat, more lures then i probley should have and some nice reels. My main reason for joining this site is to connect with local anglers in my area that can give me more taylored advice. All this info on you tube and articles seems great but may not always apply for all bass around the country. Instead of asking my Dad for advice who is not of much help i come to you guys!!!! Rods and Reels line ups i have at this time: 1st purchase....Abu Garcia Silvermax Combo from walmart...6'6'' medium action...Paired up with 15lb florocarbon.. I kinda use it as my crankbait, plastics rod............. :/ 2nd purchase Sun Dolphin Bass Tendor...paired it with a 30lb trolling motor.....put all new seats in it. 3rd purchase Pfluger Trion Spining real paired with cheap rod and 10lb braid.....Girfriends universal rod....lol 4th purchase Abu Garcia Revo SX w/ shimano crucial wrom rod 6'10'' w/ 40lb power pro braid... I use it as my top water, frogging, pitching flipping rod... 5th purchase BPS johnny morris sig series...no rod or line yet..... So that is the begining of my fishing adventure...to this date my biggest fish is a 6lber caught at a private pond on a texas rig worm, pooring rain in mid summer soking wet... Needless to say im addicted lol....
