		<title>The Q was hot!</title>
		<link>http://www.newenglandfishing.net/index.php?showtopic=39205</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hit the Q this morning with Seabass. Launched out of 31 around 6:30.  Went all the way down the Baffle Dam and the "golf course" area  checking different spots that had paid off in the past.  It was nice in the morning but it didn't take long to get oppressive with the heat.  Saving grace was a nice breeze.  Fished from 7:00 till 1:30.<br />
<br />
Bait was holding in most of the usual areas but the smallies were not on them.<br />
<br />
Seabass didn't nail nuttin but a little perch.  I didn't do much better with 2 smallies that were just OK.  Never put the scale on them as I had lent out my BillyO to my neighbor.<br />
<br />
High point of the day was spotting a immature bald eagle soaring on the air currents.  At first we thought it was a big heron because of the wing spread.  This babe was big, I mean really big for a young baldy.  I would guesstimate it's wing span at a good 3-4 feet.  I've seen a lot of eagles out there and even the mature ones did not seem as big as this young one.  He did land in a tree for a short period of time and we got some pics.<br />
<br />
Seabass has pics of my smallies, be they what the are....hope he posts them up later.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of shots of the young eagle...hope you enjoy:<br />

		<title>Another 6lb largie, 2 in 2 days</title>
		<link>http://www.newenglandfishing.net/index.php?showtopic=39193</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Went back to Stiles tonight from 6:30 until 9.  Went with my neighbor in his boat and hit those same trees I hit last night (see my other thread "New Personal Bests")  I was working the same combination Berkley power bait Power Hawg 5" on a Trokar 5/0 wide gap this time with a 1/2oz. tungstun bullet weight.  I was working the same exact tree and felt a little nip.  Set the hook with my 7' Mojo Bass St. Croix medheavy and felt some serious weight.  The bass swam out of the tree right away this time and I had a pretty good fight to get her in.  My buddy netted her, and she weighed in at an even 6lbs.  I know it wasnt the same fish as the day before because that fish had a big hole in its bottom lip that I stuck my thumb in as I lipped her, this one had a nice clean jaw line all around except where I had just hooked her.  Two fish, 6lb 2oz and 6lb even out of the same tree in 24 hours.  <br />
<br />
I am having some unreal luck over at Stiles, and I never really had any good fish there before.  So far this summer Ive had my first ever 5 lber, a 5-2, a 5-5, a 6-2, and now a 6-0.  Awesome summer!<div id='attach_wrap' class='rounded clearfix'>

		<title>grandfather and Brookiemaster hit the big water</title>
		<link>http://www.newenglandfishing.net/index.php?showtopic=39206</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been PMing back and forth with Matt "The Kid" Brookimaster for a few weeks now trying to get a day to fish. He didn't have his drivers license yet so that made it hard for us to meet up. He finally called me the other day with news that he had gotten his license, so we made plans to meet at the big pond at 6:30 Wednesday AM. He was right on time and that was good cause I won't wait for anyone. <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> It was good to meet Matt and he was excited to get on the water with me. My goal was to do my best to keep him on fish. I knew it was going to be a tough day out there with 95 degrees and light wind. He never whimpered once about the heat and just kept fishing hard. He brought me some awesome tasting special donuts from a place he works in Amherst and a box of Cheez-its which he says is his good luck charm. I'm gona keep a box of those damn things on the boat from now on. <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> <br />
Matt missed the first fish cause he didn't listen to what I told him, but after a short lecture, he was ready for action. He kicked this old man's butt all day. Here are some of his smallies and the best one came with ten minutes left to fish. It was his new PB smallie at 4.5   <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/dance.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':banana:' /> <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/dance.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':banana:' />  Awesome bass "Kid", and great fishing with ya..... <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/salute.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':salute:' /> <br />
<br />
Oh Matt.....I think your new name on the site should be "The Kid"  <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/metal.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':metal:' /> <img src='http://www.newenglandfishing.net/public/style_emoticons/default/metal.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':metal:' />  <br />
