Lake Maspenock, MA Fishing Report
Sunrise Start, Being A Banker, Latenight Larry Hunt
I didn't have to work until noon, so I woke up after an exhilirating evening and decided to try a new cove with deep waters. My second cast I landed a pickeral on a diver squid lure. About an hour went by without any other action so I decided to call it until the evening, as I have a trip planned with none other than NAPA who is freshly geared up! To my surprise on the way back I decide to troll a Yamamoto behind the boat and about 2 minutes later I landed a 2 and half pound large mouth bass- what I consider a bonus catch. If you don't have anything in the water....you're not going to get a fish- go figure. That was the prequel to the days events. Once i get this damn suit off in about an hour, it's round two for late night Larry Hunting. Whooooo!
So, I'm a man of word. As indicated in the morning trip, I forshadowed an evening outing on Maspencok with Napa (King Smallie). We set out at about 9:00 pm on an absolute glass covered surface, idea for my favorite fishing- top surface time. We started slow with an abundance of small jumps but nothing in the boat. This was in deep waters in a secluded cove. It's now about 10:30 pm and we are paddling to the next destination when I see what looks like Larry Central on the outskirts of an Island. I tell Napa to fire a cast towads the shore, he angles a few casts with no success. We drifted about 50 feet when the magic happens. Napa throws a cast about 20 feet from the shore (100 feet from a raging party of middle-aged party animals. I was buzzed from the aroma in the air....actually probably buzzed from the yager and beers I was consuming...okay fish time). I hear a loud splash, a miss on Napa's jitterbug, he stays focused and pulls the lure a few feet towards the boat when Mayhem strikes. I witness a fish about 25 feet from the boat jump 4 - 6 times, making Jordan in his prime look like Yokozuma. I request the net and Napa somehow manages to assisit me while getting the beast to the boat. I scoop and miss realizing the quality of the fish, second time was the charm as I see the Smallie of the Year emerge in the boat and congratulate my angling partner on his Larry of a catch and Wall Status. She weighed in at 3 lbs 9 ounces and was 20 inches long- WOW! One of the happiest moments in my fishing career- a natural high came over me and we started celebrating with Soco shooters.
I managed to pull in a decent smallie of my own and then a large mouth around midnight. What a night...and looking forward to many more. That night will be remembered or at least most of it- haha! Your on the wall of Slobs NAPA!
