Nuttings Pond, Billerica Ma Fishing Report

Nuttings Pond March 7, 2012

I got about an hour and a half on the water. I've never been to this pond before. It's small, shallow and weedy. I started off throwing a 1/4 black Boag Hog lead free jig with a black and blue plastic trailer. I was alternating the jig, a sexy shad suspending jerk bait and an 8 inch trout swimbait. It was pretty windy. I started on the North side of the pond. I've read this side gets more sun. I just let the wind push me down the shore line. I was casting the jig at all the wood I could see with no luck. I was getting more green weeds than I thought I would with the jerk bait and the swim bait. I switched out the sexy shad for a $1.99 BPS Jerk bait. Silver body/black back. That's a go to color combo for me. When I reached the shoreline where the wind was blowing on, I got my first hit of the year. I was barely reeling. I felt the bite and set the hook. He wasn't that far from the boat. When I got him close I could see that he only had one hook in his mouth. I lipped him and pulled him aboard. This is the earliest in the year I've caught a bass. I'm gonna try again with my buddy D tomorrow if it's not too windy.
