Congrats on the salmon. Must of been a ride on the ultralight gear.

I remember fishing Horn Pond once in open water for salmon in December. It was windy as hell. Couldn't cast any further than 4O feet with a kastmaster. Tough place to fish in my opinion.

it is indeed a tough place.  i live relatively nearby but hardly go anymore.  only if i want to target salmon.  many easier places to fish for bass and trout.

should have posted on my fish finder then..........

  goldpin  horn pond is loaded with rainbows  some days  i kill them there other days   not so much Its close to home  and  i have had  45 years of fishing there including  10  years of opening  day You wanted to see a circus  that was it  people camped out all night  fires going  Every body waiting for the  siren to off at  sunriseThen it was like that scene in the movie 300  when  all the arrows  blackened
the sky Only instead of arrows they were als goldfish red and white dardevles  and mepps spinners  being shot from  shakespeare wonder rods with mitchell 300s  from anglers lined up shoulder to shoulder and they would all hit the water at the same time > Now that was indeed tough fishing  but  what fun it was.

haha i can imagine the madness.  i used to go to quabbin every year for opening day.  first year i went i couldn't believe literally 100 cars would line up at 4am to get in!  i was at horn 2 years ago when  I just happened to show up about an hour after the spring stocking.  I certainly had never seen anything like that before.  I almost couldn't believe all the fish bundled up just a few feet from shore.  I could reach out and grab them.   At first I didn't even believe they were trout.  I thought there was some kind of crazy frog spawn.  Easily the fastest limit I ever had for trout.  I used to take my hobie kayak there for rainbows too.  Limited success.  casting metal and trolling yozuri crystal minnows mostly.   i actually tried to go to the cross over mid december to see if i could pull up some fat goldies for pike.  i was tossing oatmeal in for chum but couldn't get anything.  i have caught some fat goldies there before on trout worms while going for trout.
