Wachusett Reservoir Fishing Report
New PB Smallie- Drop Shottin At The Chu
Haven't been to the Res since I bumped into Badlarry and his giant Laker. Cool nights and reports of smallies gave me the itch to get back there. There at sunrise this AM fishing the drop shot in a new area. Picked up a little one in shallow water. Then moved to 15-20 FOW. That familiar little thump on the line says it's time to set the hook. Felt like a big one right away. Then I see a football with fins flying out of the water! A few more jumps and in comes a new Personal Best Smallie at 4 pounds 12 ounces. My search begins tomorrow for a 5 pound smallie!

Def not a dace. Maybe creek chub or fall fish. I will take a pic next one I catch. Looks just like a shiner black n silver but mutch thicker backs. Can barely git a hook through them.

Yah that's what I think it was. Showed a guy what I was using today at the rook and he told me it was a dace. Googled it n def looks like what I've been using.
