Early Spring Fishing In New England

Featured Replies

 This past weekend I was finally able to get out fishing. I fished a few hours Saturday afternoon and most of the day Sunday. It was very windy all weekend. Saturday it was a sustained 15 mph wind out of the Northwest with gusts over 30. Sunday was just as gusty. Most of the day Sunday was 5 - 15 mph out of the northwest. Pretty difficult to handle with a 10 ft boat and trolling motor and fish while dealing with that wind.. The water was still pretty cold to at 46 degrees. It was mostly cloudy each day. I fished an assortment of baits, chatterbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, senkos, tubes, silver buddies, and a couple suspending jerkbaits. I caught 5 bass in about 3 hours on Saturday all on a jig. Biggest two were 3-9 and a 4-2 both largemouth. Sunday was better fishing. Landed 12 bass, 7 of which were smallies. Biggest 5 fish on Sunday weighed in at 23 lbs 5 oz anchored by 6-6 and 6-12 largemouth as well as a 4-1 smallmouth.

Congratulations - great to hear it's starting here in New England.  I'm having a tough time of it.  It's my first early Spring with a kayak, so there's a bit of a learning curve on my end.  Still waiting for my first bass.

 

Best of luck..
