Though I have curtailed my bass fishing for some years, my intrest still remains. Decades ago I studied up on bass fishing tactics and as a result, I was pulling out large bass from local "dead" ponds as well as some prime bass ponds with ease and frequency - just as many from shore as when in an inflatable raft. For many years, while fishing in SE MA ponds, I was catching large mouth bass in the 6-15 pound range with ease - fishing both days and nights. 99% of my catches were released uninjured using "jelly" worms, surface plugs and an occasional "swimming" lure,.

 

   My biggest bass was 14 pounds, caught from  shore during the day at a Carver pomd (Edaville Reservoir) using a grape jelly worm lure. Sorry, several years ago this pond was closed to the public by a local fish & game club and remains so. The second best pond in the area was Sampson's pond in Carver, where, a couple decades ago, the MA/NE record largemouth caught there was just over 15 Lbs. So there are still some great ponds to fish in the area - if you are "bass savy" in regards to fishing tactics, utilizing weather, structure and feeding habits, etc.

 

   Willing to share some tips/tactics I amassed over the last several decades if anyone is interested - just ask.
