Walt & I hit the Quabbin again today. It's been terribly windy the past couple of days, which is why we held off until today. They predicted calm winds, picking up a bit in the afternoon. When we launched around 8 am, the water temp was

Walt & I hit the Quabbin again today. Launching before 8 am with the air at a brisk 51 degrees! 3 days ago it was in the 90's! New England! Water temp was 70 degrees today and the wind - if you could call it that - was calm to very light.
...
What an unusual spring! Daytime temps well above freezing for this time of the year in over a decade - sustained that is. Today Walt & I hit a small local pond with anxious expectations. Air was only 38 degrees when we launched around 10

Between yesterday, today and tomorrow, the weather forecasts are indicating between 12" - 18" of snow for our area. The pictures here show 11" - which I just got through snowblowing and shoveling! Now it's "MILLER TIME"!

Walt & I reported earlier, in the New England States Forum, about our catch, which may be the last of the season. Winter is closing in fast unfortunately. The interesting take on this report was the "yellow" perch that Walt caught.

Yep, the Quabbin closes Saturday. For another year. Going to be tough, but we'll persevere. On the bright side, we will use the small boat to torment crappie in waters outside the reservoir, until ice up. Today, we launched a bit after 8 am
...
We had another great morning out on the Quabbin Reservoir. When we launched, the air temp was 58, which was much better than yesterday's high of 92 degrees! The water remained consistent at around 72 degrees. Winds were light and variable and

A beautiful Saturday to be out crappie fishing for sure! I even saw a group of 5 deer on the way over to Walt's place with my gear. Unfortunately, the camera was in with that gear in back! Can't win 'em all I guess.
Great day to be crappie fishing! Walt & I launched a bit after 8 am this morning on the Quabbin (as usual). Air was very brisk at 51 degrees (Fall is on the way), with the water still at a toasty 74 degrees. We got slammed with a strong

What a day! Beautiful morning starting out with air temp at 53 degrees and water at 78. Calm winds. Full sunshine. This what we were faced with when we started fishing a few minutes after 8 am:
What a beautiful day! Walt & I hit the Quabbin once again, launching around 7:45 am. Air temp was a refreshing 55 degrees for a change. After 3 days in the 90 degree heat wave, it was a welcomed change indeed. Water was up around 82 degrees
...
A new pond! Walt & I checked out a pond we hadn't fished for years. Not a big pond mind you, about 70 acres. Lots of summer homes along the shoreline and not a great launch. But we've heard it has some decent crappie in it. We only had
...
It was one thing after another for Walt & I, but we finally had an opportunity to hit the Quabbin Res. today together! When we started fishing a bit after 8 am, the air was a nice, cool 62 degrees! Quite a change from the brutal heat wave
...
What a great day to go fishing! Low humidity, warm temps and light breezes. No one was available to go today, so I went up to the Quabbin myself and rented a boat! Haven't done that in quite awhile, but I'm more than happy that I did. Even

Walt & I finally got out together on a really gorgeous day to be fishing. We hit the same pond that Jim & I hit last Friday. We launched at 8:00 am with the air at 63 degrees and the water at 74. We were targeting crappie, but they
