Testing The Waters
I only live 15 minutes from Norwell so I thought I'd go after some of those hogs Hooligan keeps landing. The rocky shore was full up when I got there (was that you guys!?) so I headed to the docks. I threw everything I had in my tackle box (and I mean that) but only got a couple of taps. The fish were much more interested in grabbing bugs off the surface. My kingdom for a fly rod!! I drove back around to the rocky shore and there was a spot open. I immediately noticed that the aquatic vegetation was much lighter here. No luck on the Senko but I landed a solid fish on a Mepps. Also got a Black Crappie (one day after getting my first :)) I will definitely go back. Shore access like that is hard to come by, especially without huge fishing pressure.
