Fished an open tourney on Watchaug Pond yesterday.
Water temps ranged from 55 in the morning to 60 at 3 PM.
We only found 4 fish in 8 hours, for about 7 1/2 lbs. 3 of the 4 of them were on scattered rocks in less than 3 feet of water. One was in scattered weeds in 4 FOW.
The fish on rocks were all caught on dark-colored 4 inch soft plastics. The fish in weeds was on a bladed jig.
Some guys reported seeing fish on beds toward the end of the day, so the spawn is about to start here in southern New England.
