hotfishgirl Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 i cant find a map of the active herring runs! i want to fish the ponds for big largemouth in the spring! any maps out there? not how it works.You want to fish these ponds in the fall when the juvi herring leave.In the spring they are thinking about spawning not eating a 12 inch meal and if they do eat a 12 inch fish they probably aren't going to be looking for any more meals for a while.

R.R. Bridge Fisher Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Pre spawn , spawn, post spawn all good for catch and release. Nothing better than trying to get that big girl to eat your lizard during the spawn. troll #122 <*)))< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better than trying to get that big girl to eat your lizard during the spawn. pre spawn in Not "good for catch n release"as we all know a certain amount of those fish released will not live.It's not very hard or sportsman like to rip a bass off its spawning bed.

bdowning Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Where's the map? Come on people. Give it up. I'd gladly post the file I have, but SOL spits out some cryptic error. The file size is rather large, so there may be a limit. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_G Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 What HFG said. I'm sure a big lmb will take an adult herring on occasion. But you ain't seen nuthin till you see them on herring fry in September. A couple falls back I was doing some work with the DMF herring biologist. Without being too specific, we were surveying a small pond very near the canal. The fry were dropping back in millions. I asked him to follow me to a small spot few knew about. In a deep, rocky pocket where a small dtream connected the ponds, I told him to look down. There were ~15 lmb, ranging in size from 4 to maybe 8 lbs. Their stomachs very distended from gorging themselves on herring fry. Smaller bass, from 10" to about 2 lbs were trying to get in yhis prime feeding ambush area, but the larger bass pushed them out of the area and into the shallows. Really cool stuff.

Nauset Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 At one run I go to when the Herring arrive the Big LM are all over the the entrance skulking around and hiding in the overgrowth in what appears to me like an ambush.When the run ends,you don't see them anymore.I doubt they are there to just say welcome back.Well,maybe they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
