Thanks guys...Sponge Bob has had a few others this winter..lol. Every year I pick a few fishing goals and species to realy target. For me this year it was a big Pickeral over 6-1/2lbs( I came close and now with most in there spawning ritual and dropping eggs, it looks like I will have to settle for the 6.4) also looking for a largemouth 10lbs or better(not easy) in the freshwater scene. On the salt I look forward to learne my back yard for stripers. I have never realy liked the Canal, but now that I live in buttermilk bay I think I have no choice, but poke my head around. Even tho it's a blast you will see a little less of Sponge Bob yes this year I will be taking it back to my roots and fishing with a Cuban Yo-Yo for excitement. Should make for some good video plus I have some other pretty funny stuff I want to do on video as well.
Flap: Those are monsters, I love fishing for them. They have the reputation of bluefish in the fresh and most people don't like them, but there is no other fish in our freshwater that will be as cooperative as pickeral at any time of the season.
MikeyB_ all those fish came from over the bridge though it's always good to send people a Pm when asking questions like that, but I don't mind helping. I no longer live in Hyde Park, but if it's fresh water your looking for id say Jamaica Pond, Charles river, & Houghton's pond to name a few that have some great fishing. Boston Harbor has alot of access now that they have made all the new parks. Carson Beach can get pretty hot and working artaficials early in the morning can pay off pretty well at times with both bass & blues and Walliston beach. Both Jamaica Pond & Houghton's should be stocked with trout soon and then followed by salmon at Jamaica pond. Honestly the best advise I can give you is getting out and fishing those places every thing else will follow...Good luck out there
I added a couple more picks from this winter and the bass was from this afternoon on my way home from work...yes I work..lol Honestly about 40-60 hours a week I just don't sleep. Also a link to The video of my Valentines day Largie for those how havent seen it
