Yesterday, eighteen of us ventured to Oldham Pond for a post-season team/zone event. Anglers were paired randomly and then one drew for their starting zone, A or B. Anglers then fished each zone for four hours.
It was not our most efficiently run event, new format and all, but we made it through. Definitely needs some tweaks if we’re to ever do it again.
Because we were fishing Oldham, we ran an……
Originally called Oktoberfish, then changed to the Catch ‘Em All Fall Brawl, we held a late-season online no-limit event on October 5–6. The rules were simple: fish one of two days, 6 Am to 6 PM, on any public body of water, and catch as many fish over 12 inches that you can. Easy enough.
Well, it was a barn burner for some, and a very humbling experience for others.
I fished……
Well, that’s all she wrote! The 2019 regular season is in the books.
Twenty-six of MAKB’s finest fished Long Pond and Little Long Pond in Plymouth today for our season closer. Many who pre-fished reported less than stellar results, lots of small fish, and…that’s pretty much how it played out today.
As always, we also ran some optional lunker pools. This time smallmouth and pickerel.
Valber Santos walked away with the pickerel cash. He……
Twenty-three of us hit Lake Massapoag early this morning for the second to last regular-season event of the year, and the lake was in a giving mood. Everyone caught at least one fish! Cool.
First, thanks for judging, Sarah.
We paid out five spots, the 50/50 raffle, plus lunker pools for largemouth, smallmouth, and pickerel.
Gerard won the 50/50 raffle. Second time this year!
Ari Stonehill smashed a massive 27-inch, 5-plus-pound pickerel, which was more……
This past Saturday Massachusetts Kayak Bassin’ ventured north of Boston to Upper and Lower Mystic Lakes in Medford. Twenty-two anglers made the trip.
We made this one a roadrunner event, which allowed anglers to launch from any public launch area on either lake, but most dropped into Upper Mystic from the main ramp, while four of us gave Lower a go.
The baitfish were going crazy in the morning, right at the ramp and along the……
Thirty anglers fished our annual Three Lake Throwdown today, nine of which were at Lake Sabbatia, ten at Lake Nippenicket, and eleven at Neponset Reservoir.
The weather was hot, mostly sunny, but at least at Nippenicket it was pretty windy at times, which took the sting off the heat somewhat.
I don’t know all the details on how the other lakes fished, but it seemed like there was a decent bite going……
I’m exhausted. And depressed. Who picked this damn lake?
Anyway, twenty-three of us fished Long Pond in Freetown/Lakeville today. Eleven anglers had limits. Bruce, who is laid up with a back injury, judged today, and said mid-lake seemed to be the most productive area.
Whatever the case, five anglers put enough fish on the board to walk away with some cash. =)
We ran an optional pickerel lunker pool today, and……
Thirty-three anglers fished Lake Cochituate today, our second biggest turnout ever, and our biggest turnout for a single-lake event (we had 37 fish our Lake Rico/Neponset Reservoir season opener).
It was a great day to fish, with a little wind that only really kicked up at the end of the day, as we all sat there and watched those renting kayaks struggle against the gusts and waves. Pretty irresponsible of that company to continue renting……
Another one down!
We hit Wequaquet Lake with a full field of 24 anglers today, and while no one knocked it out of the park, we all scored fish. Like our Cook Pond event, one or two decent upgrades for more than half the field would have been an express pass to the top of the leader board.
The weather was partly sunny and the wind wasn’t an issue at……
Cook Pond is in the books and…well, it was a close one. And when I say close, I mean one big upgrade or two decent upgrades could have bumped someone up to the top from nearly 20 places down. That close.
But those bigger fish were hard to come by.
We had 22 anglers show up for this one. The weather was great (and the water was pretty clear, believe it or not), but the fish……
