Wequaquet Lake - Centerville, MA Fishing Report

9/22/12 - Avid Anglers @ Wequaquet Lake

This is the 1st Avid club tournament for the 2013 season for us. 1st time I fished here in 2010 in a spawn tourney, and I got a big goose egg. Now I know I've developed and grown as an angler, but that was still in the back of my mind. Anyway the the water temps were about 68-69 all day. Weather started real overcast, with a breeze. By noontime the wind laid down, and the lake was glass, but also shut off the already slow bite. Sun was out by 1pm and everyone struggled the rest of the day. My usual position as Co-Angler, I drew Wade as my boater. Ignition problems wouldn't let his boat stay running, but luckily we weren't going far for where we fish ed most of the day. Wade had his only 3 fish(1 largemouth, 2 smallies) by 7:45am. I struggled most of the morning. Starting with a spinnerbait, and tube drawing nothing. Drop shot got me a Pickerel, and a chunky Sunfish. Back to the spinnerbait some Yellow Perch. Tube, jig, c-rigged all nothing! Finally about 11am frustrated I picked up a squarebill. 1st cast, 1lb Smallie! 10 mins later, another 1 lb Smallie!, 20 minutes around the corner, my biggest of the day, a 2lb 3oz Smallie smokes the squarebill! 10 minutes later, another Smallie drills the squarebill, does an big jump, and spits the hook 10 ft from the boat! DOHHHH! it was atleast a 2-1/2lber. not long after was when the wind laid down, sun came out, and killed the bite. About 1pm we moved out to a hump on the main lake, and I was able to pick up a 1lb 3oz Smallie on the dropshot. 1st place was the only limit with 12lbs+, 2nd was 2 fish 8-1/4lbs including lunker(4.88lb Larry on a Boag Hog Jig!), 3rd was 4 fish with 7lbs+, and I came in 4th out of 15 with 4 Smallies at 5.39lbs. The one that came off would have put me in the money, but it happens. Just happy to start the Avid season on a good note!
