With the opening of the season for us late this year, on the Quabbin (last week in April), we've only been three times for about 4 hours each trip. Jigging deep water with blades and jigs. Water temps at 52 - 54 degrees with each trip. Here are some of the results:
We've also picked up quite a few smallmouth as well, but nothing over 3 1/2# yet. All fish were released. The eagle shot was just a bonus for us.
