Mass. Fishing

Hello all.

The possibility exists that I may be taking a weekend trip to Mass.
Anyone know of any good Bass lakes within 50 or so miles of Worcester? GPS
waypoints as well? Also, can you get a license in Mass. at your local Kmart,
as you can in NY?

TIA to all who reply.

Congamond on the MA/CT border is superb. Qinnsigamond (aka quinSUCKamound),
right in Worcester is anything but.

Hey John
Most lakes in mass are pretty small..more the size of ponds. The Quabbin
Reservoir (west of Worcester) is the exception.

If I was fishing the area for a day I might try Long Pond in
Acton/Littleton...has a mix of good depth and weed cover. A1 or Stump pond
in Shrewsbury is close and a mix of weed and wood cover.

Lake maps are available on line and I think that there is a on line license
purchase.

Congamond is a little far from worcester. It does hold great bass but has a
lot of fishing pressure. I like stump pond, otherwise known as A-1. It is in
westboro and has a lot of nice size fish. Flint pond on route 20 in
Shrewsbury is good although it has tons of weeds. It does however have a
great boat ramp. You could also try Singletary in sutton.

Oh,
You can get Licenses at any wal-mart or Dick's sporting goods. Dick's
doesn't charge a retailer's fee. Wal-mart does. The closest Dick's is on
Lincoln Street in Worc. or McCracken road in Millbury.

I would have bet money that it was within the 50 miles John specified, but
it turns out that it's more like 70! I'm shocked that I'm closer to
Congamond here on the shore of LAke Zoar than Worcester is.

And you're right about the pressure. But the fishing pressure has never
bother me there. Just ther #@#$#$ ski boats.
