Fished it 4/25/04.. Got there at about 8ish and launched the new boat... I, myself havent been on Quabbin with a boat yet so not knowing what to expect... Everything went good... Trolled the shoreline slow and Mom got a Lake Trout on the 10lb Vanish line with the 6" hook. Fought like hell... but got him in.. A nice 26 " 4 1/2 lber.. 1st one we ever caught.. Then I hooked into a huge 3 1/2 lb smallmouth.... Then it slowed down for a bit.. but in the afternoon going along the shore Dad + Mom picked up another two bass... All close to 4lbs.. Never caught such bigg bass
Everything seems to be supersized at Gate 8... I love it
Pretty cold but overall a great 1st day on the water of Quabbin...
