Mr. Aquarium

I fished the new honey hole. Get boat down to the water. Motor is broken. Works fine out of water. The shear pin broke. So I tried to paddle around, the winds quickly picked up and it just went down hill from there. Got a decent pickerel on a swimbait. Shore fish another spot after lunch. Got nothing. Tough day out there

Thanks to the ocean and crazy MA weather I’ve been able to fish open water all winter. While 20 miles north or west had ice. 20 miles south wide open. Some weeks we had ice on most ponds but to thin to fish. Then a week later it was wide open. But now it’s been beautiful out. Above average temps it’s game on. The water is warming up!

Nope. Restocked today at dicks with soft plastics and chatter baits. Heading out tomorrow morning on the boat. first time at the new honey hole in a boat! Super stoked. Hope this cold day didn’t put a damper on the bite

Got out on a quick shore mission yesterday close to home. Couple of hits, and small fish. Few hits on a 6 inch hudd. Got small bass on a chatterbait ned rig the biggest fish on the s waver. Got the fish s waver fish in a super super shallow windblown cove.

I love crappies. I need to try targeting them more. I get some big slabs on big swimbaits.

Went out on an after work shore mission today. Hit 2 ponds. Both were great. Nothing big. I got 10 bass. Most on the ned rig. Got 2 on the big swimbaits. Lost a good fish on a 6 inch hudd. My buddy had a big fish hit his wake bait. I got a nice crappie on the 7 inch slammer

Crawl then. I tie hair jigs in ned heads. So they stand up but the natural hair is slowly moving. Cast out. Let it hit bottom. And slowly twitch

I did damage with these years ago. I need to dig em out again for my tournaments this year.

Check out Dunham’s pond In carver. I believe it’s open. Good ramp to. Also Sampsons. Both got good fish

Good luck dude. Hook sets on the weedless hudds can be tough. You really need to drive that hook In

Got 2 little bass yesterday shore fishing the new spot. Hit a different area. Had 2 good hits on the hudd and real prey. Got 2 small bass. 1 on Matt’s shad and the other smaller fish on a jerkbait. Fishing the windy sun baked shore

Got out for a shore mission at a new spot. Got 2 fish nothing big. But only fished one spot on it. Not a lot of shore access. Tried multiple baits. Got fish on an 8 inch hudd and a rattle trap.

I use big swimbaitss at night in most ponds. Some ponds they don’t want big bait or topwater so I use a jig, spinner bait, Texas rig, and chatter baits. Just crawl on bottom.

Buy a few baits and learn them. Don’t jump in and buy a bunch of baits. Figure out what works for your style. You can get big fish on “cheaper baits” don’t need to jump the hype train with pre orders and bait drops. You don’t need the most expensive baits to be cool. It’s over rated. Buy what works for you. I have a good amount of baits. But only a few makers I buy from. swimbaits are another tool. Some guys are swimbaits only. That’s it. I still fish conventional gear.

So I went back to my new honey hole I found a few weeks ago. Wasn’t getting anything so I decided to try out my new Matt’s shad. Wanted to see the action and get a feel for the bait. I was shocked it immediately got hit as soon as I twitched it. So I decided to stay a little after sun down. Tried the Matt’s nothin had a new slammer with me so I tied it on. Nothing for a bit, on the last cast it got bit. I’m shocked I got topwater fish so early in the year.

When you first go to check the ice keep drilling holes as you walk out. I tie a rope around a tree then around my waste ice thickness can change quickly. You can be on 6 Inch of ice. 10 feet away can be 2 inches. If I know the pond is “safe” After I checked it with the rope. Then I won’t use the rope anymore just the ice picks. I LOVE jiggin. It’s really fun.

I for the love of God can’t get bit on a jerkbait. Big swimbaits hair jigs, small swimbaits, swimbaits fished like a jerkbait blade baits, soft plastics. I’ve tried and tried with jerkbaits can’t get bit to save my life

Cape is open

I’m going to try to get out this weekend

Losing it after seeing it. I’ve lost some heartbreakers mostly bass m, big browns and steelhead fishing. I’ve lost PBs after seeing them.

On Facebook, I’ve Been seeing a lot of good stuff. People got a bunch of good baits! Saved money not going!

I got on to some open water. Didn’t get anything. Got my trailer hitch on my car. Now it’s time to grab the new boat! IM READY FOR THIS YEAR!!!!!

Not sure we will find out! But I know I’ll be out both days this weekend

I’ll be out hunting open water this weekend. Very pumped

Usually slow. I fish topwater baits like slammers and soft baits like hudds. Most of the time I’m going slow. Some time dead sticking. Sometimes twitching. Don’t really burn them In.
