great trip to bomoseen
« on: Feb 24, 2008, 01:23 PM »
Just got back from 1st trip to Bomoseen.  We caught 20+ pike  15-16 of those were keepers.  Biggest was 9.3     Caught some nice bass but no big ones.   This was a great lake to fish , nice town and people.   Cannot wait until next year for another visit.   All fish released alive, except one entered into derby.

Yes   I am from Mass and they have to be 27 inches I believe.  They majority of the pike were in the 3-5lb range.  Three were 9lb+.  Probably  2-3 were under 20 inches.   We caught the majority right at or before the sun came up.  Then around 3:30 pm bite came back on until hour after sun went down.   Only lost 3 fish , 2 Bass I believe and one pike.

NO     that was my first time ever on Bomoseen.   Just got lucky.   I know some people that bass fish it and they gave me a couple of tips but other than that went in blind and basically got lucky..

Near float bridge  or that end of the lake   not sure of markers or terms for various places on the lake
