Congamond - Sunday 10/09/2010
Message:
Well for the maiden voyage of the "M.O.B.D." I chose to go to Lake Congamond in Southwick, Ma. No boating license needed, so with the boat and trailer registered, off I went. In the water at 8:45am. Air temp was 50-55 degrees, then up to 67 degrees. The water temp was between 60-62 degrees all day. Damn 3 day Mass license costs $26! Dan and I started out launching at the North Launch on the middle pond. Figured we would start shallow around the docks and work our way down to the south pond. We took a while to get situated with all the new equipment and such, and then we were off to casting. Everybody out on the lake that day was getting skunked. A lot of high dollar bass boats were heading in early and looking all pissed off. One guy said he got a 3lbs. LM on a meal worm? Maybe they were going for trout. No luck anywhere on that darn lake. Except one spot. Right as you cross under the south pond culvert, about 30 feet to the right, with the middle pond off your back there is a patch of lily pads there where we could see the bass getting airborne. I picked up one small smallmouth on a 3 inch white tailed powerbait grub on a jig head. Picture is below. What a great day regardless of one catch. We tried live shiners, big and small, wacky worms, texas rig worms, crankbaits and spinners too. I need to practice with my fish finder and turn off the damn fish indicators. One more comical note, while out in the south pond I heard a loud motor throttle back fast all of a sudden over near the culvert. On the way back we saw where someone smacked it with their boat. Not sure if it was while we were out, but nonetheless, there's a pic of the damage to the culvert below. Out of the water by 5:30pm I'm also including a few pics of the boat on the trailer, since I'm proud and all. Looking forward to getting away to Salem, MA for the weekend, but I'm gonna miss my boat!

You can fish Congamond with a CT license, didnt have to spend that 26$ but sounds like a good time out. If you go back try fishing north pond, theres some big bass and pickeral in there.

Yeah, I thought that Congamond is an either/or CT/MA fishing license lake. Oh, and that's a largemouth bass. A small one, to be sure, but a largemouth bass just the same. And the fishing has been slow all over the place this week. I've met a lot of guys and one gal (eh, TurtleKiss?) in skunky boats this week.
