Shore recon 8/5

[tautog]

Was one of my go to spots. Never caught any real big ones though. Biggest I remember was maybe 23" and skinny below the damn. Mostly just the same 15"-18" as everywhere. The two ponds below the damn used to be really good for numbers but they were high and dry 2 1/2 yrs ago so who knows now, probably mostly lil ones. Also try Pine Lake in Manchester if you want to fish pickerel, no ramp, but lots of close access to drag a small boat, plus a few really dark Piney bass in there. There is also a nice bog pond just west of Rt 73 on 70 that is only visible from the road in winter that has lots of small and medium pickerel. Didn't see it on my last trip that way but it must still be there.
