Foundry Pond, Foxboro, MA Fishing Report
I'll Take "fish Names That Start With A P For 100"
perch and pickerel were the special of the day, with some calico bass mixed in.
first time at foundry pond in foxboro (thanks popo) and will not be the last. 10 hours rowing in the canoe, getting sunburn, and pulling fish out of the water left and right. i think 15 mins was the longest we went without a bite. and that was when it died down between 3:00 and 5:00.
when the sun went down we had counted 121 fish. nicholas had 72 to my 49. (i kept emailing myself from the phone throughout the day so we wouldn't lose count)
63 yellow perch (avg 10 inches), 19 calico bass (avg 12-14 inch), 21 pickerel (3 over 20 inches), 15 sunfish, and 3 large mouth bass (smallest of the day at 8 and 10 inches)
mostly rapalas, but switched to a rooster tail and a spoon here and there, but most of the day was rapalas.
a beautiful, out of the way location, tough getting the canoe in and out, but well worth the fun.
i did get a nice size barbed treble hook burried deep in my finger thanks to a stubborn pickerel.
didn't have the needle nose pliers to cut it and actually thought we might have to make a trip to the e.r. rather painful, but did manage to wiggle it out after about a half hour. fortunately, we do carry a small first aid kit. bandaged it up and kept fishing.
10 hours in a canoe is exhausting. but the weather was great and tons of fish. a great day.
