Title: Quabbin Friday Night?
Post by: stripernut on Aug 03, 2017, 03:22 PM
Thinking of heading out Friday night (8 pm to when ever) to hit an area that I have not fished, but should fish very well, it will be a lot of walking... If you are interested (just 1 person) and have a night pass, drop me a PM. The moon will be bright, but it is forecasted to be cloudy, so the fishing should be good. If the clouds clear, I won't bother to fish the Q (maybe the Conn River then).

Good luck Allan.  Back to the canal for me!  Also hoping for clouds.  Moonlight sucks!

When you get it, let us know what permit number it is, so we can tell how many they have issued...

Ended up hitting the Conn River and had some fun with a bunch of micro smallie jumping...

Too much moon for the Q?

The clouds rolled in around 10:30, but I did not hit the Q as I wanted to fish a new area (to me night fishing) and it was a long walk. I will and do fish alone, but for something like that, better to fish with someone... I had also not hit the Conn River this year with all the high water, so it was a good alternative, even if the fishing was slow... "You never know if you don't go".

I almost never bump into any one at night and there are 107 permits out? I think I will fish tonight!

Yes, it is, but you are only allowed a few gates to fish/park from and I/we often cover a lot of shore line and if some one else was fishing we would most likely see a car parked... I have been night fishing Quabbin for about 30 years and have seen less than 5 other anglers (at night) and most of them were fishing for hornpout. I am not saying they are not there, but it seems less than 107 passes would dictate.

On the ride over last night, the sky started lighting up with lighting and a turned around. Before I was back to the house a heavy rain had started... I would go to night, but with GOT and then a planned trip with the wife to watch the meteor shown...
