Lake Cochituate, Natick, MA Fishing Report

11/09/08 - Lake Cochituate - Natick, MA

gave up free last minute pats tickets because i had already said we would go fishing; and nicholas chose fishing over the game.

sunny, a bit cooler, but not a bad day. out for about 4 hours. much slower than saturday.

nicholas caught a 12 inch pickerel and i got my biggest pickerel of the year. 20 inches, 2 pounds. hit on a rooster tail and put up a great fight. really wanted it to be a bass, lol, but still a nice fish.

my kid will see a fish jump and want me to move the boat to the spot or cast his line over to it. i always shrug it off and say the fish will be gone by the time you get your line in the water.

well, i happened to see a trout jump not far from the boat, and for some reason, i immediately cast my line to the spot. i was shocked when he actually grabbed it (rooster tail), but he jumped off the hook about half way to the boat.

2nd cast to the same spot. grabs it again and same thing, comes out of the water and spits it out.

3rd cast nothing. 4th cast, i hooked it and got it to the boat. 12 inch rainbow.

only 3 fish for the day, but a pretty good weekend.
