fished Little Herring with Wojo yesterday. This was my first time fishing out of a jon boat. took some getting used to but once I did it was pretty comfortable. I would love to tell you that we crushed fish all day long but it was the exact opposite. we watched fish swim by us all day as they "flipped us the fin".
Dave managed a handful of Pickerel and some Perch but just couldn't get a bass to bite. Near the end of the day while heading to pick up some marker bouys we had dropped we stopped at one more spot. I cast a jig into about 6" of water on the end of a fallen branck and got slammed. ended up weighing 3.88 and being our only bass for the day.
we fished for another hour after that but just never got them to bite anything.

got out with Wojo on Santuit today. one other friend showed so we had a little big fish pool. fished from about 8:30-1. ended up with 9 keeper bass up to 3.24lbs. also managed countless perch. most fish came on a mepps with 3 of the bass coming on jigs from 1/8-3/8oz.

I got the 3.24 about 5 mins before heading to the ramp to weigh fish. came on a 3/8oz jig with net bait paca trailer. picked up the jig and started swimming at me full speed. after some hyperspeed cranking I was able to take up enough slack to drive the hook home.

all in all a very good day for dec 27th.

stopped for a quick canoe trip on the way home today. not much to report other than not catching anything. one pick on a spinnerbait. had something real small take a swipe at the frog but no takers. guessing that all this rain really set things back for a day or two. going to give it a go tomorrow in a different location.

been leaving the canoe on the roof in case the mood strikes lately. well today it struck. got on the water about 5:45 paddle over to some pads. worked through them casting a live target frog. no such luck. hit up the spot where I got my profile pic fish a few weeks ago. nothing over there. went back over the pads on my way to the other side of the pond. finally got a 3 pounder to smash the frog. fished this spot for another 30 mins without any more strikes. moved over to the pads near the launch ramp and managed a few more 2 lbers tossing a spinnerbait just outside the pads. was getting dark and I was getting sick of being blown off my spot so I headed for home.

hit up Whitman's Pond in Weymouth this afternoon via canoe with the wife. Fished rte 53 side on the ride out with zero bites. on the way back we headed over to the Lake St side to try a few spots. The second spot we hit produced on my first cast. Nice fish around the 3lb mark(didn't have a scale). Manged two more after that one around 3/4lb and another around 1.5lbs. The wind was blowing pretty good at that point and a couple of boats were buzzing us leaving wakes so we called it a day. Definitely trhe best day I have had in there yet.
