Ames Long Pond - Stoughton Fishing Report

Ames Long Pond - Father's Day

I celebrated Fathers Day by fishing new water. Ames is a very weedy, bassy-looking pond that promises good frog fishing. Following last week's rains, however, like many places this one fished tough, for bass anyway. Catching pickerel was easy on almost any bait. I focussed on the south pond and worked the entire eastern shoreline, mostly using the frog. Didn't get my first bass until I was 3/4s along. I tossed a watermelon stickbait under an overhanging branch and discovered a very healthy 3lb bass! A little further along I nailed a fat 1.5 lb on a frog tossed over a small patch of lily pads. There were a bunch of pickerel in the mix but that was it for bass. On the way back I saw a guy fishing from the beach with his kid haul in BIG bass. He was shouting to his buddy, "Get the scale, get the scale!" and whooping it up something fierce. So I know they are in there.
