Conference wahoo::fishing

    	Well, this isn't Mass.  However, I have fished 3 different seasons
    in the last 3 weeks.  Three weeks ago, ice was forming on the edges
    of the belly-boat.  Only 1 little 16" bass.  Two weeks ago, water
    temperature was in the lower 50 degree range in the shallows, and
    bass and pike were exploding out of the moss for shallow running
    crankbaits and rattle-traps.  Largest was a 4 1/2# bass but FAST
    ACTION.  Some even came up and hit buzzbaits.  Last weekend, the
    surface water temperature was back down into the 40s in the shallows
    and fishing action had slowed considerably.  Only 13 fish in 6 hours
    of fishing with the largest being a 5 1/2# bass.  Since she was
    only a little over 19 1/2 inches, she wasn't even a keeper.  Minimum
    in that lake is 20".  Now, it's snowing, blowing, and COLD.  Where's
    summer?

         Sounds like you guy's had a ball, I dont imagine you would tell
    anyone where you were fishing, right????
         Just thought i'd ask, I wouldn't blame anyone for keeping that
    place a secret! 
    
         Keep up the good work,

    It was Monomonac!

    	And do you also sell building sites south of the Florida Keys????

    Re .2 Yup, you are right I won't
    Re .3 Nope, you are wrong
    Re .4 I think you got his number Wayne
     
    Stopped by this morning for 45 minutes before work. Air temp
    was about 28 cold! I hooked a small one on the first cast
    about 13 1/2 inches, still a good fight. The action was a little
    slower so I tried rippin the lure for a footor two the letting it
    sink. This got me 4 more bass (3) 13-14 and one 15. I missed another
    small one and also one that I didn't get a good hooket on and could'nt
    try to set it again cause he was rippin line off the reel, the it
    went limp... I cast a few more times after that and caught one more
    13 1/2. Not as good as Saturday but still a great way to start the
    morning. One draw back my fingers tips are still stinging from
    getting my hands wet releasing the 6 Bass I landed.

    Hmmmm...On the way into work ay?...
    
    
    lets try a process of elimination....GIAMEM = MOO = Marlboro....
    
    I have an idea of where...but I won't post my guess...

	I'll continue with the process of elemination...

	My guess is that there's a stream that exists the pond/lake
	in the NE corner.  If it's the one I'm thinking of, I use
    	to fish it during lunch a bunch of years ago.  I've always
    	wanted to put a canoe on the pond but never have.
    
    	My bet is that this pond is no secret to those who have worked
    	and fished in the MRO area...

    Ok... I live in Berlin, Ma and fish before and after work ocasionally.
    I fish the flood control pond on the north end of North brook Berlin.
    Wheelers pond Berlin. A couple no name ponds in Berlin, Rocky pond 
    in Northboro, a couple no name ponds near Stow acres golf course,
    Lake Boon Hudson, Fort Meadow Marlboro, Assabet river, a few no
    name ponds in West Boylston. Hop Brook pond Westboro. Solomon pond
    in Northboro....to name a few.... of course on weekends when I have
    more time I venture father from home.

    Woah!!! Johnny Roach!!!
    
    You live in Berlin...
    
    Hell I've lived there all my life..and still do.
    
    We HAVE to get together and do some anglin'...I know of a trout
    pond......if you feel daring!

    I have one question for Johnny Roach, How the h**l do you get into
    Solomon Pond to fish? Do you know someone that lives there.

    With canoe,you can put in at Raytheon, or right by the restaurant...but
    ask first.

    Lange and Roach,
    
    I'm from Hudson and we all should get together!

    Re .9  Sounds good, lets work out a time. North brook is in my back
    yard. I pulled some lunkers out of the pond by the holding dam,
    but it's a pain carrying the canoe in, I am working on a cart to
    make it less painful.
    
    Re .10 see .11 for warm weather, in winter I park in the restraunt
    and skate to where I want to fish.
    
    Re .12 Sounds good let's set up a time. What are we going after
    Trout, Bass, others? I fish for almost anything. I have a 16'
    Allagash and 28 # MinnKota and a couple of rods and reels.

    Now ... there are two holding dams in Berlin....one is off Pleasant
    St. ...and the other is off Linden Street.  I used to fish the one off
    Linden St. ALL the time.... At the far end where the steam come's in
    from RT 62...there is a big rock out in the water...I laid some timber
    down over a section of "swamp" to get to it... is it still there?...
    Also during that ton of rain we had 2 years ago...I made a log bridge
    to the island that's out there....
    
    Now you have me going...I want to get down there....I know the people
    who own the sand pit that has the gate locked on the entrance...maybe I
    could ask them to let me in with the jon boat...
    
    re: canoe transport:
    I have this old golf cart (pull type)...that can be strapped to my
    canoe. It has 10" wheels...and one person can tote the canoe Anywhere
    with this. You are welcome to "use" it if you would like...seeing how
    we live in the same thriving metropolis....
    
    Like you say....lets set up a time.

    Yeah That's the one, off Linden St. I come in from Rt. 62 in the
    sand pit also. I think I even know the rock. The island looks 
    like there is a pathway out to it but I have never walked out there.
    I (We) have almost always used a canoe. We used to drive in til
    the police came down one day to chase out motocross and atv's and
    asked us to leave also. I am friends with Henry so I won't drive
    in again. The golf cart sounds like a good idea. I have tried to
    go in with waders "Disaster".  I think you need a canoe to fish
    this pond and I kind of like the idea that you have to portage in
    your boat and equipment to fish it, keeps the pressure down. I have
    had some days when I was skunked and some days when I had fish 
    every 5 minutes. I have landed some 3 to 5 lb Bass and if they aren't
    biting you can almost always get 24" Pickrel. I think there are
    some Trout in there , but, I have not caught one yet. As far as
    I know the pond is not named and I call it North Pond, for lack
    of a more imaginative name. This pond does'nt show up on topo maps.
    	The other pond you refer to off Pleasant street is called Brewer
    Brook Pond. I have only fished it from the shore. It has tons of
    Yellow Perch some pretty big. We have brougt kids there for 
    some consistient action.
    	 Lets set up a time.... I have committments on April 1,2
    8,9 and 15 and Friday evenings. Maybe some day after work or,
    take the afternoon off and get out from say 12 to 6 or so...
    I will fish almost anywhere, I not to keen on suggesting a place
    cause it always seems you tell someone about a great spot and then
    you bring them there and get skunked or catch 5" Johnny Roaches.
    	Have you ever fished the no name "Horseshoe Pond" I can't remember
    the name of the street it is off. It's up the hill about 5-10 miles
    south  south west of North Pond.

    The "BASSMASTER" lands first bass of the season. Easter Sunday
    8:30 am on a chartruese Foxy Jig. almost 3lbs !! 
    
    Look out at the Early Bird
    

    
    Gee... I have some of those...Should of tried them yesterday...
    Got skunked for the first time this year... over at A1. Tried 
    rattlin crankbaits, Mepps spinners/ brass willow leaf, Brown 
    and Orange spinnerbaits, Black tiny torpedo, Rebel silver tiny popper, 
    Black rubber worms, orange / gold and pearl white / silver
    3" rubber grubs on slider jig, sinking and floating Rapala's 2"
    and my partner tried shiners and worm's. He actually caught one
    Johnny Roach, but in my book that's about equal to being skunked.
    We tried deep water, meddium water, back water shallows...
    Oh well guess that's what make the days when your catching
    them so exciting.
