New England Bass Fishing ??

Been lurking a lot, was wondering how people here from New England are doing ?

We have been seeing it really slow, with action during the day very spotty...finding them in the deeper waters, and then up against the shore later at night...using 5-6" T-rigged Senkos and floating frogs and mice up on topwater.

Seems to pick up around 6-7PM until dark, that's the best time. Maybe 6-10 fish during this time, that's it.

Anyone else ?

Yes, it is a strange summer, I agree, but at least for me fishing has been OK so far.

Cheers, Nikolay

This weekend hasn't been bad here at home. Yesterday morning I did Hatch pond and got 20 fish -- most under 2 pounds, but one was about 3.5. Basically just bank fishing on a steep (for hatch) rocky shorline with a lot of fallen trees. Creature baits and wacky riged spankies.

Today I went to mudge. Caught fish doing everything -- fishing the pads, soft jerkbaiting the flats and outside weed edge, hard jerkbait on the outside weed edge, and drop sotting in deep water. Stopped counting at 35 fish, but that was at 2, and I didn't leave till 6PM, and it didn't slow down. Most fish were under 2, but I had 4 in the 3.5 to 4 pound range and one 7 pounder. All the good fish came on the drop shot except one 3-1/2 pounder on a jerkbait. I'll post a link to the picture of the big fish tomorrow. Need to go to be now. Got up at 3:45 the last two mornings.
