Mashapaug Pond in the morning

Gonna head up to Bigelow Hollow state park tomorrow. Going to fish the only part of the lake I've never fished, the east side. It's an interesting combination of steep banks, shallow coves and flats, and a couple long main lake points.
I'm going to change up the initial salvo as well, and go with a baitfish themed attack.
Buzz Toad, Bluegill swim jig/Blade Minnow trailer, Green Pumpkin Salt Tube, Pumpkinseed rattling Squarebill, Silver /Black ShadowRap jerkbait, and White Ice Jerkshad.
We'll see if this approach results in bigger returns. I will do my best not to return to throwing a worm, for as long as humanly possible.
Report will follow in the afternoon.

Sounds like a great time,although it’s frustrating and rewarding learning a new body of water,good luck and let us know how long it took you to toss that Sinko😂

Good luck Fred, sounds like a diverse body of water and may be tough to figure out (at least for me). Most of the lakes I fish are pretty straightforward.

Thanks BK, I usually fish the shallower west and south sides,and around the 3 islands. When its windy it usually blows from between the north and west, making the east side tough to fish. We'll see buddy.

Good luck to you Fred. Hope you have rapid success. Experimenting in new water is always fun. Looking forward to the report!😎

Give it hell up there Fred. Been some nice fish taken from there from time to time over the years.
