Date Fished: 8/17/2007
Water Temperature: 70.
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater

Went to Gate 8,usually fish gate 43 area, fished small island near launch ramp, showed promise but no fish spotted, fished to 40ft, went all the way north and tried a few places on the eastern shore. Just saw very few very small smallies. Caught a couple but the bite was very light. Fished some deep coves and off of one shoal with 50ft depths very close. Did not spot any fish holding on the bottom or chasing balls of bait. Worked my way back on the western shore and fished the ledges, found a couple of smallies in 37-48ft of water, bite was very soft and unagressive. Fished the island again at 40+ft and surrounding shore lines looking for underwater points or humps. Spent lots of time looking motoring around getting familiar with the differences of Gate 8 and Gate 43. While waiting for the ramp to free up, I had a look see from a smallie using a jerkbait.

Been fishing Quabbin for 30yrs and don't really fish Gate 8. According to the DCR folks at the check in shack, trout and salmon were very active and the DCR guy told me a 7.5 smallie was caught( but did not say when) by a salmon fisherman at 65ft. No doubt a state record cruising around somewhere. All in all a great day on the water, just poor fishing.
