Upper Mystic Lake, Medford MA Fishing Report
Upper Mystic Lake, 7-11-09
Went out in the kayak from about 1:30 to 4 pm this afternoon. Tried out a new soft bait today, Skippyfish 4" Alewife Shad. Got nothing in the little bay by Sandy Beach, but it was really windy, so I sought shelter in the bay near the Winchester Boat Club. Things picked up here. I caught about a 14" largemouth off a dock to kick it off, then another small bass and a yellow perch. Moved on a little and picked up a bunch of bass (five, with three casts in a row to roughly the same spot each yielding a bass, mostly small but one 12"). Had another on after that that shook off. Then I moved around to the other side of the Boat Club and threw Skippyfish along the shore and hooked into a nice ~19-incher to finish a great day. I'm now a believer in Upper Mystic--I've always heard stories of people catching bass there, but never had much luck. I also love the Skippyfish...
I snapped what pictures I could with my cell phone in the kayak, but they didn't really come out so well...
