Where can I find some smallmouths? I got a few at goose and have been dining to get them ever since. They are quickly becoming my favorite warmwater species, and if I didn't have to go a long distance to find they would be. Don't get me wrong, largemouth are fun but smallmouths are so much prettier. It doesn't have to be a trophy fishery, just anywhere where you have caught a smallmouth. I would prefer smaller body of water., and if it was not on the cape that would be nice. The cape is fine, just far

Quabbin, Wachusett, Comet, for certain, maybe Walden??
Im north central mass so for around here, positively? Those places for sure.

isn't? wallum is a little far for me, how is the trout fishing there? and is it a lake where a canoe won't be blown around?
-
the massachusetts website doesn't say there are any smallmouths at wallum. you have caught them there right?
-
West Washacum in Sterling is good for small mouth. Fish around the island

haha its 90 ft deep and its a mass of rock. you can bet your life on it that theres smallmouth in there. the mass website doesnt know a thing.
-
It seemed like a pond that would but I need a report of one being caught there or I won't believe it. Sorry. BTW it is 70 something deep. I am sure they are there

What part of the french would that be? cant be the oxford to webster section......
-
merrimack river from methuen to the lowell border is full of them and the river is really a nice place to fish in that stretch, 2 cars and a canoe and float it

why? goose was nice. i will try garfield.

Wallum Lake in Douglas in full of smallmouths. I've caught a few 4 pounders there. My own vote for the biggest smallies is Wachusett Reservoir. My biggest there was almost 6 lbs. Quabbin is full of them as well. :tipup:
-
thanks for the info. may be down there this afternoon.
-
sheep pond brewster has big smallies as well...so does peters pond...long pond also
-
if only i could convince my dad to go out to the cape. which is the best? i was also thinking about nickerson state park. are there large numbers of them there as well?
-
Too bad you don't live near the adirondacks. Catching smallies was so easy, even my sister was catching them and it must have been the first time she's touched a fishing pole in over a decade.

I agree...I grew up right across the river from you (Niskayuna) and fished the Mohawk all the time....made it up to Lake George a fair amount of times as well. Smallmouth was definitely king in that area!
Out here, I've only had luck with smallies in the Mystic River and a few spots that your not exactly supposed to fish at...
-
by the way, are there any stripers in the mystic? you mean by lower mystic lake right
-

Yep, that's the river...goes out the Harbor. There are definitely stripers there...I think there are more below the dam in Medford, but the do get up to the rest of the river and the lake. I've seen them dart under my kayak while fishing near the mouth of the lake, and my landlord was telling me how and a buddy pulled one through the ice one year! I think a lot of people fish on or around the dam for stripers...no boat required. I'm not 100% sure, since I haven't done it, but it's a logical place to find them.
-
Well that seems some what close. I should try there after school. Where do you put a boat in
-
merrimack river from methuen to the lowell border is full of them and the river is really a nice place to fish in that stretch, 2 cars and a canoe and float it
that sounds like a great float. i'll hit that section with u some day if u want. sounds great with the yak. so u start in methuen paddle up stream and float it back down to methuen? pm me
-
hey i would love to.

Pop this point into Google Maps: 42.400716,-71.080176
it's in the Station Landing shopping/apartment area of Medford. It's right above the dam...I haven't put in there yet, because I can walk to the river from where I live, which is closer to the Lower Lake and I just put my kayak in there. The area looks killer for large mouth too...
