Quarter Mile Pond, Stoneham, MA Fishing Report

Flippin Out

Started out at Turtle Rock on Spot Pond. Threw everything I had. Jitterbug, Rapala, Kreature, jig n pig, Mepps... All I got to show for it was a baby smallie.

Moved to Quarter Mile Pond to try my hand at flipping. My first time venturing into the pads. I don't have any frogs so I was using a weightless weedless gary yamamato creature bait. A few casts in, I get a fish to slash at it. That got my heart pumping. I was hopping the lure from one pad to the next occasionally letting it slide off. One good slash, fish on! Tried horsing it out but it was just stripping line. I had to hold the line against my rod with my hand and pull damn hard. Finally got him in, sorry for the bad picture.
Later on I had a frog take the lure. I pulled him out of the pads and now I'm thinking "how the hell do you get a hook out of a frog?" Just then he spits it out. He was never hooked, just felt like holding on! That's a lot of hours for one fish, but one fish is all I need to call the trip a success!
