2011 Team Ma Gathering?
« on: Sep 16, 2010, 05:34 PM »
Just wondering where you guys would like to try this year? I have a few ideas, but would like feedback from you guys first. Just remember guys, We need to find a house or motel close to where we will be fishing. Uno, is it possible to keep this up top for a while?

I know it's early, but I'm sitting here bored and my thoughts are racing... :o
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

How about Spy Pond?
We are interested in going to a larger lake and a very productive lake. Somewhere that can handle the  pressure 15 - 16 guys. That's a lot of tilts... And a place that might produce a trophy...

hasn't onota been chemically blasting the weeds and a 6' drawdown? wouldn't that leave about 40% of lake bottom exposed? that would force the pike to deep water?? good luck with that

Onota is a deep lake. It's not as bad as you think. I don't thing they will draw it down with all of this hot weather. It's already lower that usual.

Is it true the state is going to be doing a story in the 2011 abstract about onota lake for fishing?
If so that place will be a zoo

It's a Zoo now. I fish there alot and there is always one part of the lake that is fished HARD! We know where that is!!! I moved around a lot last year and found a few spots that produced nice fish, and we were away from the HOOPLA!!!

I'm glad that there were some huge fish taken out in the last few years, but I wish people wouldn't croud that one spot. There is a whole lake to fish...

Look what happened to Pontoosuc after Lambert got that Musky...

When and where is this going to be? If you guys can handle driving home after, I can find parking for a salmon pond or a crazy-action trout pond. No places to sleep near them, and no pike, though.

It's usually a weekend trip Scott.

Doesn't have to be pike IMO.
