Notable Catches

On May 1 at about 5 PM, I was fishing with my buddy Rich Pouder. We have fished salt water here for about 30 years. We are both new to fishing ponds on Cape Cod and are exploring! I was standing in the pond and a guy walked by. We started chatting and he said his son fished here all the time and they used rubber worms. I didn't have any with me but realized I had seen many stuck on the bottom. I grabbed a stick and retrieved three worms. I put the best looking one on my line and cast it out. About 15 minutes later I got this awesome 16 in Large Mouth Bass. How cool!

I went fishing Sunday on my friend Rick’s boat leaving at 10:00 am. The weather was overcast with a chance of showers we left the dock in Onset for Buzzard’s Bay. As soon as we stopped off the coast of Falmouth, it may be Pocasset near a lighthouse, we dropped our lines and we were catching scup and black bass fairly quick. I was the last to catch one, an eighteen inch black bass. Yes, that is me in the green fleece. We were using cut bait squid.
