Nice smallies, did you bring or rent a boat? If you rented can you let us know what it costs? Hear it is reasonable for a day of fishing on one of the best fisheries in MA

Thanks

last year it was $30 for a boat with motor and a full tank of gas. boats were a good size with high sides and room for 3 guys comfortably. I think there was a 5$ parking fee also. definitely worth it, especially if you don't have a boat, or don't want to trailer one out there and have it specially cleaned.

its actually 40 for a full day which starts a 6am and 30 for half day which starts at 1230pm and if you want to rent a paddle boat its 10 for half day and 14 for full day

Which parking lot are the boat rentals at & how early should I get there before the boats are all rented?

yeah great time. one of the best places in MA. water is crystal clear with visibility of about 20 feet. i went a few weeks ago and we caught just about everything...trout, rock bass, LMB, smallies, and pickerel. i'll have to post that trip soon.

cjbross23 is spot on. $6 parking, $40 for a full day. you get about a 14' aluminum boat and a full tank of gas with a 10 HP kicker. i think i went to gate 2 which is on the eastern side.
