Fishing Report January 18 2015 Massachusetts

Conditions: Cloudy skies with light rain, air temperatures low 40's, moderate winds, bait of the day - Clam Pro Tackle Duckbill Drop tipped with a Maki Plastic Mino in shiner color and also the Clam Pro TackleThe Drop tipped with spikes

Was planning a trip to New Hampshire but the weather was predicting rain in the early afternoon and a much better chance up north. So decided to stay local and fish a small crappie pond and see how we do as we have not been there yet this season. The access area is usually the last to freeze in the area and the first to open so you really need to take advantage of it while you can.

Wanted to try a different area than we usually fish as last fall before freeze up I had been in the kayak and located some nicer crappies there. My son did his usual running his tip-ups with shiner minnows and was getting a lot of flags at the beginning but the fish just were dropping the bait on a consistent pattern.
