Hey All, Just wanted to say "Thanks" for adding Massachusetts to this forum. Did some Trout fishin before the ice formed on Long Pond in Plymouth Massachusetts on Sunday before the Pats game. Long Pond is a 211 acre pond that has a max depth of 100 feet in some of the "holes" if you can find them. Fished from the shore and in only a little over an hour picked up a couple of Rainbows. Not that big but they were fun to catch with a good fight to them. Wished I could have fished for a bit longer but just had to watch the Pats crush the Saints at a sports pub in Plymouth. You lucky dogs are ice fishin already out there in the midwest! I'll be lucky to have safe ice out here by New Years..Best of luck hooking up the BIG ones!!!

Rick.......sounds like you had a great day at the lake!...Your post brings me back to my days living on the border in southern new Hampshire(just north of the Mass towns of Methune/ Haverrill/Lowell area...spent a few days fishing off the coast of hampton Beach and Newberry Port for mainly cod(actually anything we could catch.lol!)...and had some great days out on the "big pond"...I never did get "sea sick" but alot of people did ...I must admit that freshly caught cod with melted butter is tough to beat!..also went lobstering with a few friends there...managed to pull in a few lobster from the pots...great memories!...glad you guys are with us here on the forum!...looking forward to your adventures!...jonny

Welcome to the forums Wishin. It is great to hear fishing reports from all over North America and it is always interesting to hear what others are catching. The ice here in North Central is just starting to form for the most part. I know a few may be out this weekend but unless it gets much colder you will not see me on the ice for a couple weeks yet. That water is to cold for swimming in for me!

Jonny,

Lobstering is something that I have always wanted to do but have never done before. I would think that has to be a blast. Then the reward....yummm.
