It's been a cold and windy spring in Massachusetts but Sunday's forecast put me in a positive state of mind. Sunshine and light wind would surely bring scads of smallies onto the flats, right?

 

. . . After half an hour of casting an 1/8 oz. marabou ball head jig I had yet to get a bite. Maybe I should fine tune to a 3/32 oz. mushroom head? Yes.

 

 

Throughout the day I tried a few other baits but concluded that the little 'shroom in black and purple marabou was the bait that would tempt the few fish around.

 

 

 

 

The fish came from approximately 15' - 20' depths. Surface temps ranged from 47.9º - 54.2º.

Effective fishing 3/32 oz in 20 ft  is like a religious experience.

It's been a cooler than normal spring here as well and of course the wind.

Beautiful fish
