So far my only plan is to get in on the Shellback 20% off.

Thanks man, yea I use an app called photo timer+, works pretty well if you have a spot to prop the phone up lol.

Yea man crazy it was an 18 acre pond, never would've thought she was lurking in there.

I've been fishing this small pond on my lunch breaks and after work for the past 3 years. Never had much luck size wise, biggest has prob been around 2lbs, but the numbers were good though. Have been stopping once or twice a week all summer, but not really girding that spot as other spots nearby are far better size producers. I know there's a few underwater rock ledges that run out about 30 feet then turn down the shoreline, the bottom of the ledge drops down to about 10 feet. I try to cast where the ledge turns parallel down the shore and retrieve back right outside of the drop off. Threw a 9" dark trout slammer, retrieved at a medium speed and got crushed. She went 7.3#'s and 23.5"'s! Still fired up (Solo pics can be tough!)

Agreed with what others have said, most places hold good fish. I fish all the same spots I used to fish senkos and what not at, and would occasionally catch a big one, now its much more frequent with swimbaits. Don't count out those local small ponds either, for instance last night caught a 5.6 out of a, at most, 5 acre puddle on a slammer.

IMO, grab a slammer and a hudd 68 and you're good to go, i'm in MA too and the slammer has been producing since March. Can get both for under 80. Like others said an swaver or hardgill/bullgill would be good choices too.

Thanks man! Did some searches but somehow didn't find those....

As the topic states i'm looking to get my first 250. I was wondering besides material what the difference between an OG and a new style is? I see alot of guys prefer the OG over the new style, but not sure why. What would be my best choice, spending a little more for an og or getting a new style? Thank guys!

Agree on the 9" slammer, I have a few 7's and I really only fish my 9". My 9 will crank down a few feet no prob, though i dont usually fish it that way. Just a nice slow retrieve seems to be the ticket for me. Purple nitro has gotten bit for me mid day and middle of the night, but color doesnt matter that much.

Got my woodtail in the mail today, pumped to go fish it later!
