Hi, Went to Mount Tom today with a friend to try for stocked Atlantic Salmon. Got there at 12:45 PM. Fished live golden shiners under slip bobbers about 4-5 ft down from shore - the beach area. Plus casting some spoons. Lots of big fish making a fuss all over the pond on the surface. I caught 2 nice fat Browns -> each almost 2 lbs. apiece. Last fish I caught was a nice Atlantic Salmon about 3 lbs. -> Strong hard fighting fish. My friend kept getting teased all afternoon with fish surfacing/splashing near his rig but no takers. Around 3:40 PM while casting a spoon he got clobbered on his ultralight rod (4 lb. test) by a 3-4 lb. Atlantic. 1st Atlantic he ever caught -> had to fight him easy on 4 lb.test but finally beached him. Grin on his face was priceless ! thumbup While there we watched the air combat manuvers of a Bald Eagle and Ospery. Eagle was harrasing the Ospery for the fish it had caught.. Was quite a show -> lasted a full 20 minutes ! Eagle finally got the Ospery to let the fish go and scooped it up. Started to rain at 4:00 PM so we called it a day. Bit of a dreary day but we had a lot of fun :!: SeaDog1 :mrgreen:

I went there yesterday. Fish were jumping almost 5 feet out of the water. Big splashes too! Had some fish hit a fly but couldnt hook them. Tried a nightcrawer and nothing. Then a group of people show up and they cast their minnows. WIthin like 10 minutes they each catch a fish while ive been there for 5+hours.

Between the fight the salmon gave and the bird show, sounds like a nice day!
