Fishing season is coming.....

I've never seen an umbrella rig for freshwater. Have any pics? I've got piles of saltwater ones, but no freshwater.
I'm getting the itch like crazy. Less than a month till cod open, haddock are already here, herring are here, mackerel are starting to show up(so I hear). Everything is coming way early.
Today I put together some daisy chains and 2 darts for my harpoon.

how do you make a lobster trap?
I picked up a new fly rod and reel yesterday. Dedicated to learning to fly fish this year. For the last few years I've tried to get some guys together for a tuna charter, and people just wouldn't commit, so I've given up on it. Envy to you tuna guys.

*Eagerly awaiting the arrival of linesiders.*
Please be aware that the "Alabama rig" is illegal in MA in freshwater if you have more than two baits with hooks. You can replace them with spinnerbait blades or soft plastics with no hook, but no more that two hooked baits.
cant friggin wait, i literally go every day in the summer.
im also going to try to learn to fly fish this year. i wanted to last summer but spent way too much time on the spinning reel.
wanna get a nice baitcaster too

And my personal favorite:
The clambrella rig.
I went out a few weeks back before that last snowstorm, didnt catch anything but ill probably get out on wednesday and try to find some bass. I saw those umbrella rigs at dicks recently and they look interesting, might pick one up for some river trolling perhaps, let us know how it works for you.

I haven't gone surfcasting in years but I'm up for it this year.
Boat prep is underway already, getting ready for slip splash In early May. Then time for fluke and stripers. Get me into latter June and let the sharking begin south of Block and then the hunt for tuna. U am determined to put one of those little school bluefin in my boat solo this year, can't wait. I am a marine angling addict, on the water every weekend May through September.
Much new tuna gear this year, ready for the hunt.

Cool. I anticipate an early run this year. I'll give you a shout sometime.

That hook looks nasty. Hopefully it only finds it mark on the fish and not you.
Ugh, couldn't even imagine getting stuck by that on accident.

Put the word out here, I'd like to give surfcasting a shot. Haven't done it since I was living in SF.
anyone know of any good places on the south shore (or close to there) for some bass? me and a few buddies usually go to Lake Nip in raynham to fish.
also, a 'secret' place down in Bridgewater too near the correctional facility![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Recommend me some good spots for pike fishing, please.

There are pike in East Brimfield Reservoir and a few lakes out west like Onota. There are some good sized ones in the CT River (try Barton Cove). If you are really serious, head up to Lake Champlain. We catch the damn things all the time while bass fishing.

I joined. Looks like a great forum.
Saw your registration!
The public side of the forum is a bit slow right now, but we have a good core group of guys and it's growing slowly but surely. There's a large section of the forum that is viewable to members only, and we hold our monthly club meetings there via a live chat module so that everyone can participate.
We're planning another beach clean-up at Gooseberry Island for Saturday, April 21st. This will be our 3rd year hosting a clean-up event at that location. Would be great to see some of you guys down there for this!
