Fishing out of Soldonta, Alaska out on the Kenai Peninsula, in my opinion, the best fisherie in the world. You know you're in "FISHING HEAVEN" when every other shop on Main St. is a tackle shop!

In the direction this country is going, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more people doing the same thing. We are all 3 meals away from anarchy. It's sad.

I use a food sealer.

I only take 3, and my fishing partner doesn't eat trout, so he gives me his. We keep our fish alive on 2 separate stringers, and we will trade off smaller fish for bigger fish. We keep it legal, and we keep it fun.

I have another sink full of fish, and I'm running out of room in my freezer. The Fall bite has been incredible!

I’ll release all of em. If I want to eat fish I’ll go buy some. Especially anything that is slow to grow. Largemouth take from 7 to 12 years to get to 10lbs.
I keep the rainbow trout because there is a great stocking program in Massachusetts. I release everything else.

Great leech idea. In case having too much fun casting and forgot to get out of water sooner, bring a pint of blood.
You want to leave them on just long enough so that they get plump!

Browns generally don't go after PowerBait - they much prefer live bait or flies. The line you use makes a big difference- I use 6# Nanofil. Browns love leeches - take your shoes and socks and stand in the water for a bit, then get out of the water and pick them off your legs and put them in a container. Free bait!

Thanks,, we have different limits here but most lakes and streams are 5
You're lucky - once I get 3 on my stringer, I have to stop fishing. Fortunately my fishing partner doesn't eat trout, so I get his 3 as well. I stock my freezer for the winter quite easily.

ever fish saltwater?
Quite a bit - surf casting and deep sea. Used to enter the Martha's Vineyard fishing derby every year. My mother-in-law has a house on Plum Island in Newburyport - her backyard is the ocean. Great place to go for stripers when they are making their run.

are you a shore fisherman or do you have a boat?
I do have a boat, but I am not opposed to fishing from shore. I grew up in Woburn, Ma near Horn Pond, so I put my backpack on with all my gear and work my way around that pond for a good workout.

peter's pond one of my favorites! ever fish goose? or gull? also hold some nice fish. John's pond is a good spring take also.
Over the past 3 years since retirement, I have worked on getting to every body of water in Massachusetts that has fish in it. My favorite for trout is Peter's, and my favorite for largemouth are East & West Lake in Halifax, but I still have more ponds, lakes, and streams to check out.

And Woburn is where ? T I A .....
Woburn is about 16 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts. I drove down to Cape Cod at Sandwich, MA to catch those trout. Peter's Pond is the most heavily stocked pond in New England. There are four species of trout including Rainbows, Eastern Brook, Tiger, and Brown. There are also Largemouth, and Smallies in there.
