It was a cold and rainy opening day but we still went after it and landed some really nice fish! Check out my Instagram for more fishing content: @ne_outdoors93
The place is a big fish factory. I had gotten a couple of nice trout on my countdown Rapala, and got slammed by a big fish down deep. I thought I had a monster trout when the big smallie jumped. Only Wachusett would make you bummed that a 6 pound smallmouth wasn't a giant trout. No other place like it.
Hey guys is this the reservoir in the middle of Massachusetts I use to live in the Berkshire s that state is beautiful. When I lived there the places I whent to had 6lb lmb and 4lb smb guys I had such a good time fishing there. Hey that was a nice small mouth 4lbs beautiful fish . I live in Missouri right now I'm going to moving to Texas or Minnesota I really want to move to Minnesota but it's not cheap to live there but there's 11,840 lakes to fish and there's alot less pressure on the bass there. Have a great fishing season this year and God bless you and your families.
Wachusett is a tough place to figure out, best advice I can give is to keep going and keep trying different areas. This time of year topwaters do well, early spring jig and jerkbait is better. For the next couple weeks fish sunrise/ sunset with top water and you should have some success
This was back when I was running braid main line for my jerkbait setup for max casting distance at Wachusett and had a bad streak of bending out those light gauge jerkbait trebles, so kept the drag super loose to prevent that. I just throw straight flouro now and can keep the drag tighter. Thanks for watching!
Killed it. I went to Wachusett for the first time today. I went through gate 8 down to the water but it was incredibly shallow. Any tips for spots with deep water or drop offs? Trying to catch my first laker!
Navionics has a great free web app that has a depth chart for all of wachusett, I recommend using this to find deep holes that are casting distance from the shore
