11/6/11 - Singletary Lake - Millbury, MA
I reconnected with an old friend Justin I hadnt seen in 10-12 years recently on Facebook. He's has a nice 18-1/2 Skeeter. Our original plan was to get out to get out on Oct. 30th, but that storm did some good damage to the Chelmsford area, so we postponed to this past Sunday. As soon as we pulled in to the lot, in comes a Beaver Feaver sighting. Glad to see we are not the only dopes to launch at that ramp when it was atleast 2ft low, lol. So we launched about 8am, electronics said the water temp wasa balmy 41 degrees. Wind was off and on day, gusting at times, but Sunny most of the time. That 1st ride across the lake really woke me up, lol. We started in the back corner behind the sunken islands thinking we could find some lie near the feeder creek, but with the water so low, the weeds were so thick. We decided to drift the flat back towards the islands. A 6ft flat that is usually 8ft plus. I was throwing a squarebill, Justin was throwing wake/shallow crank. We were seeing followers, and suddenly...Fish on, Rainbow Trout, five casts later, Another Rainbow, Next cast, Another Rainbow which would be all I would catch today. Nice looking fish all in the 3/4lb to 1lb range. Justin finished the day with a Pickerel, and a 1lb Smallie. We called it a day at some where around 130pm. Good, fun day, slow fishing, but good to reaquiant with Justin. Im sure we will doing some more fishing in the future.
