10/26/10 - Dudley Pond - Wayland, MA
I went by Cochituate boat ramp, but the wind was howling there. So I decided to hit the much smaller Dudley Pond, which the wind also wasnt pounding as hard. Fished for about 25 minutes. Only threw a small jerkbait. 1st cast got me a 1lb Pickerel, and 2nd cast got me a 10" Largemouth. Finished up the night with a real fat 1/2lb Sunfish(new personal best), and another Pickerel.
It was a Rapala HJ-6 Husky Jerk. Ive caught alot of fish on this size lure(2-1/2") this year. Smallmouth & Largemouth Bass, Pickerel, Sunfish, Crappie, White & Yellow Perch just smash it.
Pretty good results for a very short time fishing. What jerk bait ?
Pickerel, sure ... Bass, you bet on a jerk bait ... but I have to laugh sometimes when I hook the Panfish on a lure 1/2 their size (or more!) ... like, 'what the heck were they thinking !?!?'. Great job ...
Love duds nice fish from shore
