We hit some fine weather and fishing conditions yesterday. Water temps were between 62 - 66 degrees by the end of our day. I was figuring the smallies would be a lot deeper by now, but I figured wrong. Checking out the deeper structures, I found this huge ball of bait:

The salmon were exploding on the surface around us in this spot. Thought we'd see the bait on the surface, but they never came quite that high in the water column. I did get this one on the DS:

We didn't get any more from this spot, so we moved shallower and started to really get into some nice bass. Here's a few of the dozen and a half that we caught & released:

A truly beautiful day out there yesterday. Here's a view of this fabulous reservoir:

With the warm weekend ahead of us, I suspect the big smallies will start to stage a lot deeper. That's when this place really gets into the the swing of things!

Nice report, fish, and pictures :-)

I especially like the last pic of the scenery. Those mound islands are really unique.

I'd like to make it up to Quabbin again this year. That place is awesome.

Very cool report , pic's and fish! Looks like fun.

Nice fish

Beautiful Fish. Thank you for sharing.
