Quabbin Reservoir Bass Fishing Articles
I recently came across a copy of the “Coastal Angler” magazine at a local tackle shop out here in SE Mass and was delighted to find some great insight into fishing at Quabbin Reservoir.
One article titled: Quabbin Bass’n Heating Up (Part 2) provided a chronicle of a couple of trips to the Big Lady earlier this season. The author discussed launching from Gate 43 and fishing rock piles and reed edges where they caught several superb largemouths ranging from 2 to 6 pounds on spinnerbaits and shiners. Later the duo traveled over to Hog Island catching some decent (1.5 to 2.5 pound) smallmouth bass mainly on spinnerbaits.
A little more than a week later another trip was made to the same area (Hog Island) where rainbow trout and quality smallies (one 5+ pound that got away) as well as several decent largies were very cooperative. These fish fell prey to spinnerbaits and floating Rapalas.
Another area of the page also provided fishing report from Flagg’s Flies in Orange about conditions around Gate 31.
Even though the magazine maybe named “Coastal Angler” it includes a freshwater section chock-full of helpful tips and info. Be sure to look for it in your local tackle shops and grab a copy (especially since it’s free!).
