Sudbury Reservoir Fishing Report
A Saturday Morning Summer Something On The Sud.
Hit up the Sudbury Reservoir this morning at around 5:45am. Sunrise was at 5:15 so it was already clear as day by the time I headed out. Temps were in the mid 60's and very humid. First time I didn't have to bring my sweatshirt all year. It felt like summer.
Worked my way around some different areas with some nice cover and lily pads. Hit my first LMB after about 15 minutes on a weightless dark green senko on a 3/0 while testing out my main rig spooled for the first time ever with 30lb braid (no leader). Only 1lb 12oz, but not bad and a good start to the day.
Walked the shore for another 30-45 minutes with no luck in different spots. Found a nice shady spot with calm water, in a spot you couldn't get to with the normal water levels. Tossed out another dark green senko, and BAM!! the second it hit the water, didn't even have time to sink, hit a 2lb 10oz on the same reel as before.
I tried to take a pic of him next to my pole, but he kept jumping all around and wouldn't hold still, so instead of trying for another pic I just let him go. He looked and felt a lot bigger than 2.10, but hey, it's still early in the year.
Fished for another couple hours. Hit 3 more LMB. One on a popper, one more on a senko and final one on a red eye shad rattle trap.
Overall not a bad day. It really felt like summer fishing for the first time. The bass beds were still there, but mostly baron now, and you can really tell the vegetation is starting to grow underwater since most of my cranks came back covered in weeds.
Oh well, a pretty decent morning of shore fishing on the Sud.
