Eastern Ma & New England Area Fishing Reports
Fished a new pond today. Pain in the arse to get to. Far drag with the kayak. But I’ve been wanting to fish it for years. Caught all my fish out deep. Most of them were on my hand tied jigs. They were chewing them. Missed a few fish. Got one on a 3:16 mission fish few whacks on that. Got one on a Berkley underspin a rage swimmer combo. Got one on a tube jig. Missed a fish on BiCO jig with a beast coast trailer. Couple of missed fish on a real prey. bright sunny clear water. Fish weren’t shallow. All deep where you can’t see bottom. No idea what I had for depth and water temps. No fish finder on my yak. Always fishing blind

That’s awesome. I’ve only made jigs so far. I need a better work shop to build rods and other lures.

Yep days!!! I’ve caught a few fish over 5 this time of year during the day. Got out yesterday afternoon. Did well. Got 9 bass. Struggling to find em at first picking off random fish. Then sunset back to my usual are I fish. Ended up getting 6 here. They were loving the jigs I made and tubes. My jigs, tubes, chatter and a whopper plopper got em.

It’s not a heavy bait! Just my normal bass gear. The 130 is the middle size the 190 is the beefy musky size! They are awesome. I caught some big fish on during the day on WPs

Difficult fishing waters
I would find another lake! To me that doesn’t sound fun, but I’m used to fishing ultra clear

Does water temperature vary bait choice?
Funny thing is I don’t switch it up!!! I don’t bass fish much in the summer. But I use the same baits in winter as summer but I’ll add a few more summer baits.

What do you generally find to be the best way to add weight to a glide bait to keep it from coming out of the water?
Those are big split rings. I just like having hook options. Same hook. He uses round bend 1s so using round bend 1/0s will make it slow sink

Bigger hooks often works. My favorite glide you can change the sink rate big time by upsizing or downsizing the hooks. It’s floating glide so I can make it slow sink or a really high floating glide

Plastics at night
I slow twitch on the bottom. Especially in clean bottom gravel bottom. Not places loaded with weeds. I fish em in deeper cleaner ponds.

I do a lot of bottom fishing for a variety of fish. Salt and fresh. I’m a feeler. I can feel what my T rig is doing on bottom. You’ll feel the bite. I love fishing T rigs at night. Always creature and craw baits though. Also jigs at night work very well to
