South of Boston Fishing Report
Brown Trout
Had a full day off and with the cold front coming in figured we would try to catch some trout. Going into the day my buddy and I have managed a career 2 trout. Headed out at 5:30 with the temp still in the 30's. Tried a pond that we have tried before with 0 luck but not too much for trout fishing in the Boston area.
Had one of the best days of the Summer/Early Fall catching about 20 fish on spoons, spinners, rooster tail and the power bait. 6 Brown trout, few smaller LM, a few picks, a perch and a hand full of Eels (first time catching those as well on some kivers)
By 9:00 it warmed up and was a beautiful day. Went back out at dusk (where we hit the eels) and stopped by a small brook during lunch and caught a few small brookies (I believe are natives???)
As we are leaving in the dark I felt what I thought was the biggest fish of the day, fought it for about 5 minutes, had it jump about 5 feet from shore then it took off. Got it back in and as it got close felt one more big tug and she got off. Couldn't tell what it was in the dark. Had nightmares about losing it all night.
After a VERY slow summer with small LM and not much variety it was a ray of hope for the Fall. With Darkness coming earlier and earlier and getting out of work around 6:00, looks like only being able to get out on off days from here on out.
