Merrimack River And Fosters Pond 8/26

Today I met up with my buddy Dunt for a little smallmouth fishing on the Merrimack River in Methuen. Not long after we hit the water Dunt makes a cast over a downed tree with a KVD square bill and gets whacked right away. A nice little smallie does some jumps and he gets it over the tree no problem. We move to the other side of the tree and he picks up a nice Larry. I get hit on the jig and lose a small one at the side of the boat. We fish a little ways down and didn't get anything so we went back to the downed tree. There was actually a few trees and lots of wood in the water. There was also a lot of grass on the open water side. I made a cast that way and was rewarded with a nice smallie. Merrimack smallie are wicked dark. We take some pics and within a few casts my KVD gets slammed. A nice 3.14 Larry. We go back to the original tree, Dunt makes the same cast and hooks up with a bigger smallie than the first one. It even jumped over the tree for him. Totally awesome. Dunt picks up a couple of small fish and then the bite basically shut off. We packed up the car and threw the boat back on the roof and headed to our favorite pond...Fosters. By the time we got there it was sunny and hot. We start casting our KVD's at the shadows and wood structure but Dunt starts off the catching with a bass that hits right near the boat. A nice Larry. We fish our way out to the main lake with Dunt picking up a perch. I switch over to the jig and pig and come up with a nice fish. He was all riled up and gave us a crazy tail walk splash right near the boat that hit me right in the face. We take some pics and release him. 2 or 3 casts later and I grab another crazy splashy bass. We make our way around catching several more fish. Around 2 we decide to head out but we're gonna take our time and try to grab a few more on the way out. Success. I grabbed 2 more quality fish on the way out. A great day on the water. Lots of laughs and lots of fish
