I was in the Brookfields this weekend and noticed fishermen and
SNOWMOBILERS on several ponds/ lakes (Lashaway, Quaboag, S. Pond)
so I stopped at two bait shops to inquire about conditions. I was told
to expect an average of 4"s and that the "ole timers" had statred the
week before on 2 1/2". I'll give it more cold time before I venture out
but it looks like we may be able to get some tilt time in before we
need to upgrades the licenses.

| 473.1 | Any action out there ? | USCTR1::HAMELIN | Mon Feb 05 1996 17:54 | 12 | |
been out every weekend except one, and have fished generally 6-8 hours.
Fished Ashburnham, Westminster,Quaboag (E. Brrokfield) and South Pond.
Between us three regulars we've garnered 1 small bass, 6 calico's
(crappie), and not a single perch. I've jigged til I thought my wrist
would fall apart. It has been slow, I believe, cause we've tried a real
mix of baits and lures. Hope it improves this month. Plan I fishing the
South Pond & Quaboag tourney on the 17th.
Anyone having any luck ? How's the smelts been ?
Good luck

| 473.2 | It's Cold out there....... | MSBCS::MERCIER | Tue Feb 06 1996 09:41 | 12 | |
It has been a rough year so far. We went out Sunday. The Leominster
Sportman's Club had a trout derby. It was COLD!!! Five below when we
hit the ice at 6:00a.m. Cut a quick 10 holes for me and my buddy with
the auger working great. Two hours later it wouldn't even turn over.
Anyways managed to jig up a three nice brookies then went home an pried
the jigging stick out of my frozen fingers!!! The big Meredith Rotory
Derby is this weekend. Our plans keep changing daily. I'll be fishing
for something, somewhere this weekend.... God knows I hate the cold but
I hate sitting at home in front of the idiot box even more........

| 473.3 | Ice out except drinks | USCTR1::HAMELIN | Wed Mar 20 1996 13:01 | 13 | |
Looks like it's ice OUT! Last weekend did it for me. Tried six
lakes/ponds in N and S Central MA since beginning this note. Only missed
two weekends. Didn't jig a bag of perch. Landed only 2 small bass and
too many pickerel. Fished waters that were supposed to have v.good
fishing. Used assorted live worms, shiners, suckers and powerbaits. Had
lots of fun anyway.
Anyone had much luck on the ice this year ? From some of the tournament
boards I visited it seemed as if the fish were hibernating.
Hopefully, things will come to life this spring.
