Productive Day On Lake Waban 4/21/12

So I took the jon boat out on Lake Waban yesterday as I was dying to try out my brand new 55lb thrust trolling motor. We were on the water at around 7:30 and ready to go.

We started working some jigs around the stone wall on the east side of the lake with no luck. We continued over to the cove on the East side and that's where things started to heat up. I moved to a shallow diving crank bait and with the 3rd cast, boom 2lb lmb. So my buddy ties one on too and catches that little dink for his first fish of the day. My next fish was my best of the season. I couldn't find my scale but my estimation is close to 4lbs. We stayed in there for about an hour and a half picking up nine fish total, 5 bass and 4 pickeral.

I decided to move to the South cove just to mix it up. It's pretty weedy already but no lillys yet. First cast and boom, nice 2 1/2lber. We stayed there for about an hour catching a few more fish.

I started crawling back towards the boat launch hitting the other coves. At one point I hook a monster pickeral. Again no scale but he was at least 4 1/2 lbs. He put up a great fight diving under the boat. I hooked him real deep and couldn't get the treble out so I had clip the hook off. I couldn't get the right angle so I completely ruined the bait I had been catching fish on all day.

I tie on a deep diving baby bass crank bait and pick up two more bass in the 2lb range. All in all we caught 19 fish, 11 bass and 8 picks. It was a very productive outing.

  • There is a small public boat launch located on the Wellesley college campus. The problem is there is only 3 parking spaces available to the public and not much space for a trailor. Perfect for Toppers though. There are some fantastic shore fishing spots all around the lake too.

  • where do you launch from here man, i would just fish from shore but it looks like private ramp right

  • The motor was an amazing upgrade over the 30lb thrust I had previously. I'm 210 and my buddy is at least 250 plus two marine batteries and all our gear and we still zoomed around. The difference was definitely with the money.

  • But how was the motor?
