Yea I do well on smallmouth but for the amount of walking I have to do I can catch the same quality fish and more easier outa the boat. I also don't fish bait and don't trout fish what so ever. Salmon through the ice thats it. Lakers don't fight at especially for the size set up you need to cast for them. Ill go two three days straight when the whites spawn on my spot and maybe an early smallie trip.
I think the appeal about wachusett is the fact that anybody has a shot at a few fish species that cant be found too many other places in mass. I for one would love to cross a laker off my list of fish i havent caught in mass. Plus theres always that chance of getting a pin fish at the CHU, its where over 5 state records came from. but to each his own
