5/18/13-5/19/13 - Lake Quannapowitt W/ Angry Meat

Vinny and I decided put put some extended time into what to seemed to me to be a tough fishery in Quannapowitt. Just the water color alone is like a milk shake, and can barely see a bait inches down in the water. We put in 10 hours over 2 days (Sat. 1pm-5pm)(Sun. 7am-1pm) Water temps were 68-70 all weekend. The wind at times made it tough on us considering we need a new trolling motor badly. It barely working at half its power. Anyways we made the best of it. I know also think this place is better than it shows, but still tough.

Day 1: Saturday 1pm-5pm. Wind on the main lake was tough, so spent more time in a few coves.Pitching some flooded brush, Vinny strikes 1st with a nice 3lber. 5 minutes later he get nailed again by one just as big, if not bigger, but it shakes the hook. Finally at the end of the outing I get a 2lber on a jig. It hit as I was swimming back to the boat to make another cast.

Day 2: Sunday 7am-1pm. Wind is much more managable today. We started in the same cove we had success in yesterday, and within 10 minutes Vin had a 2lb 3oz, and I had a 1lb 13oz in the boat. Later Vin picked-up a 2lb 5oz, and a 1lber. Later in the day working down a few shorelines I get a 2-1/4lber, and Vin get the biggest of the day on a spinnerbait at 2lb 10oz. I also lost a few quality fish today in the 2lb-3lb range, one a chatterbait at the boat, another on a squarebill that I never changed the stock hooks out. Dohhhh! Still with a limit in the 11-1/4lb range with room to grow is a nice day in my eyes.

  • I live about 2-5 minutes from there and know there are some lunkers lurking about. Been planning to try it out soon. Fishing for em at night with my buddy would be fun too. Gonna have to clean off the tackle real good after that one! Lol

  • VERY good scenery there walking around when it's a warm day! Always heard the fishing was non-existent there though. Nice to hear you caught some!

  • 10 horse max. I park with my trailer on the grass but on a nice day it's hard. Lots of people there

  • There is a horsepower limit, and tough parking. No trailer spots at the ramp. But boats are allowed.

  • Nice work! I live 15 minutes from there and never fished it. And I didn't think you could bring a boat in there. I'll have to give it a shot.
