Sunday Road Trip...

Could be one of the last fishing days of the year for me this weekend. I'm from the North Shore. Looking to fish somewhere outside my usual spots, within an hours drive. Any recomendations for some fall action? Don't send me to any crap holes either!!! Very Happy

Someone's "crap hole" may give them a 20 pound bag one day and leave you fishless the next day...just saying...it is fishing.

I was going to tell you where I caught my 7lber this year but it's a crap hole.

Haha, I used to think some places sucked but then i realized it wasn't the place itself. I fish anywhere regardless of someones success.
I keep trying South Pond, Brookfield. Because it has deep water available and seems like a good amount of forage. I've seen a few nice fish come from there but 5lbs is my max. I can't break into the 6+ realm anywhere yet.

Walden Pond.

Some bigguns in there both large and small mouth, lots of clear deep water. You also have the possibility of pulling in some big rainbow and brown trout.

This should go without saying but generally the best lakes and pond will have a strong forage base and lots of cover/structure. What contributes to a strong forage base? The lakes and ponds that have that "something else. that something else is an extra 1-2 types of forage that others do not have I.E. herring, alewifes and trout, yes trout. Bass feed on stocked trout and grow BIG from doing it. These things can be found by going to fish and games website and looking at topo maps/google earth

South pond is heavily stocked with trout. That's what strikes my interest. I think they closed the ramp for re-construction and they just stocked it. So i do not think many boats will be accessing it. But i can't wait to try a Swimbait there someday. I have to take stratos1966's advice and start looking in other areas instead of the old stand by stuff and expand my areas.
Good luck on the trip.

I'm glad that they put regs in place. I really haven't fished there in a few years. I always had good luck there.

sorry, didn't mean to sound like a turd! Some guys get a kick out of sending people fishing in total dumps knowing they are wasting your time. Drive all the way there......no place to launch a boat, no parking, trash everywhere, 4 feet deep across the whole place, weeds up the ying yang, and it's full of just sun fish...... Rolling Eyes

I wouldn't do that to anyone. I'd rather tell you straight out here's a few places, but i'm keeping my honey hole in my back pocket!
