Sprague Pond. Kayak Trip Number 1
This is a local pond with little shore access... lots of lily pads. Now that I have a kayak, I was eager to get out.
I caught my first kayak fish. 1.5 pound bass. Not worth mentioning if it wasn't my first. I DID NOT want to get skunked. Finally, minutes before it was completely dark, I swapped up to a 7" green and white yammamotto. The little bass smashed it.
I had 2 or 3 strong hits right after and couldn't capitalize. I'll def go back, and I'll certainly use the green and white.
zspook1: I certainly believe the 7.14. I saw a few 5/6 pounders come out when I fished from the shore last summer. As far as the carp go, I will certainly bring corn next time I go out and grab one.
I am a big fan of Sprague. I went back this AM with a FF friend this morning, and stopped in again for an hour tonight. He nailed 4 good bass this morning for 2.5 hours. I got another 1.5lb tonight when I had a half hour to kill.
Love Sprague….I grew up in Dedham and used to fish it as a kid along with Big Wigwam and Little Wigwam ponds in Dedham. All three have decent bass and carp.
Let me the first to tell you don't give up on that little honey hole..i grew up in Hyde Park and used to fish it all the time..i have a wall hanger from there that went 7.14lbs hit a buzzbait many many years ago..if the bass fishing is slow you can always break out the dough balls because there are carp in there up to 20 lbs..good luck
