Hopkinton
A few small LM Bass & a nice Trout to finish the day.
badlarry - I am planning on heading there Saturday early morning(weather depending) canoe access rte 85 end. let me know if interested.
Tunameltdown - I used to feel the same way, but within the last year or so, hitting it up for bass has been productive with everyone focused on trout. There are a few spots there where the lunkers are hanging out.
However good for Bass, the trout activity is always a little better. Have another trip from yesterday to same spot and pulled in 4lb trout.
I'm kind of new to this area myself but while fishing for trout oddly enough I am discovering this place is not so bad for bass.Fishing parts of this lake I've never fished before and having some good days some bad
I might head there sat after noon towards dusk or early morn let me know if interested maybe meet at car top access let me know and I will keep you posted
Tuna melt the bass pictured on my profile was caught earlier this year at Hop res didn't have scale but others who were there said she was at least 6n1/2 pounder but I agree as far as bass goes White hall more consistent large ones more cover Maspenock(north pond haven't fished in a while but is also known to produce some nice bass I used to sneak a small boat in across from the church off 135 and fish the stumps at back end killed em with 5in twist tail grubs but that was long time ago.
I grew up in Hopkinton and always hated fishing Hopkinton Res. for bass. For trout and salmon it's a great place but if I wanted bass I would hit either Whitehall or Maspenock. I find it it hard to believe that the Res has been giving up bass over 8 pounds without me ever hearing about it. Hell a 10 pound bass is gold pin worthy. I have have heard of a 9.4 that was caught through the ice at Whitehall a few years ago and I've caught plenty of 6-8 pounders out of both Whitehall and Maspenock but not Hopkinton Res.
I'd be interested in joining you guys too. I've always said MAFF should do some non-tournament get togethers
Absolutely! I am always looking for some company to fish with.
Grafton, I grew up there. There are some decent spots in that area that are not on this website. I am heading out to Hopkinton later this afternoon(after work), but will post the next time I am going out there as well.
Glad to see you guys are doing well there. I'm about 15 min myself over in Grafton.
I'd def be interested in meeting up sometime.
I was killing bass with a large gold fox vibrax spinner lost one nice one but a lot of small ones amazing the size of lure the real small bass will take lol
Are you talkin more towards end near 85 where canoe access is or other way towards dike.I keep getting told over by the pump house there is a sweet spot where the trout go when water gets warm but I haven't had much luck other than some ok bass saw some fat ones jump just out of my casting reach maybe I will where shorts and wade out and launch cast Im on vacation so maybe let you know I live in Southboro right down the street
