Lake Saltonstall \ Maltby Lakes

Hit Saltonstall on friday 5/25 and did well on the southwest side of the lake fishing along the west shorline where the dropoff is big. We were using 5" Yamamoto green pumpkin w black flake and fishing them between the shore and the weedline; also pulling them directly from the weedline. The fish were hitting them after a long soak on the overcast day. Totaled 13 largemouth between 2 people and lost 3, all fish were really good size. Saw a couple of guys trolling with no luck. Fished the north side of the lake the week before and didn't produce nearly as many fish, seems like the south west side is the place to be. Went to Malbty on 5/24 and saw some huge bass trolling the shore from the top of a rock overhang. Dropped 5" green pumpkin senko down and caught two 12" bass and had to horse them all the way up a 15ft dropoff. There are definately some LARGE bass in the lower lake, you can walk the shoreline past the pumphouse until you get to the first large rock bluff. The water gets deeper there and has some nice rock cover.

Big bass at maltby? really? I used to fish there often and never caught anything big. Most bass are similar in size, less than 2lbs. I'll have to try again. You said the lower lake? Where is there a drop off? I fish that one a lot and havent come across a large drop off. Do you mean the middle lake with the pump station? Good to hear you did well at saltonstall. I just came back from there and got a few mid size bass from shore. The milfoil is really starting to fill in and its becoming more difficult to get in there to catch them, they are all buried in those weeds.

The lower lake closest to the parking lot, walk the shore past the little brick house and you'll come up on a rock structure that overlooks the lake. Was back there today and saw another decent size bass crusing the shore. Couldn't get him to bite on any of the plastics I was using. Saw a big catfish swim up as well, didn't even think of fishing for them but may have to go back with two poles next time and see if I can land one.
