Furnace Pond, Pembroke, MA Fishing Report
Multi-Species Extravaganza
Went out again today in afternoon after a lunch break from about 300-600pm. Steady sunshine, slight breeze. Was expecting a thunderstorm, but it never came...Water temp in mid 70's. Was looking to catch some crappie as I figured the bass bite may be slow. Brought some ultra light gear and of course, I still brought a bass rod with me just in case....Well, it turns out the crappie bite was slow, but the bass bit was on!... for a while. Caught about 6 bass, biggest about 2.5 lbs. Caught about 3 in that range, and a couple a little smaller. Caught them on crank bait, small grub, and a shakey head. Lost another one when I made a lame attempt at a hookset thinking it was a sunfish as this particular area was full of them. Caught about 4 white perches,3-4 bluegill, about 6-8 yellow perches, and about 5+ pumpkinseeds, all on small pan fish spinner type baits...One of the white perches I caught was the bigget I have ever caught, it was a good 1.25lbs+. I thought it was a bass at first... Got to get a new digital scale as my scale is all messed up...The crappie weren't where I thought they'd be or maybe they were, but they were not active at all...Finally when I was getting ready to leave, I decided to dead stick a small jig near cover figuring the crappie would only hit something that wasn't really moving...after going through a few perch, I finally got some crappie to bite...Good change of pace afternoon....
