Testing The Waters
I only live 15 minutes from Norwell so I thought I'd go after some of those hogs Hooligan keeps landing. The rocky shore was full up when I got there (was that you guys!?) so I headed to the docks. I threw everything I had in my tackle box (and I mean that) but only got a couple of taps. The fish were much more interested in grabbing bugs off the surface. My kingdom for a fly rod!! I drove back around to the rocky shore and there was a spot open. I immediately noticed that the aquatic vegetation was much lighter here. No luck on the Senko but I landed a solid fish on a Mepps. Also got a Black Crappie (one day after getting my first :)) I will definitely go back. Shore access like that is hard to come by, especially without huge fishing pressure.
yes I was.
Were you throwing a white(ish) sluggo?
I think I was fishing next to you the other day. I'm usually with hooligan. I was The kid that got skunked in the "fox" shirt.
Haha unfortunately that wasn't us. :P We're usually down there later in the week and on weekends. Around 3-9pm depending on what we got going on that day. Message me your number and ill toss you a txt next time we're heading there.
That's another pond that gets hit hard by the bucket brigade! Looks like a nice fish!
By the way that 2lb 8oz is an estimate. I'd like to see what you guys think it might have weighed.
