Over at Red Top Sporting Goods in Buzzards Bay freshwater action was about the same as last week’s. Mashpee-Wakeby continues to put out good catches of smallmouth bass for those throwing jerkbaits, ned rigs and other finesse baits. Anglers using big swimbaits seem to be finding some good largemouths throughout the lower Cape as well. Trout fishers can find fish in most stocked ponds right now, but Plymouth’s Long Pond and Little Pond are consistent producers, regardless of how you want to fish for them.

The Canal continues to wind down according to the crew at Red Top, but there are still some straggler bass coming through and most of these fish are schoolies. One popular method at this time of year is to fish an unloaded Red Fin with no rear hook along the edges in the Canal. Fish the plug right up top, leaving a wake, schoolies and the occasional last of the larger fish often can’t resist it. Freshwater guys are doing well with trout and bass in water from Plymouth out to the Cape.

This week’s report from Connor at Red Top Sporting Goods in Buzzards Bay was about the same as last week’s. His luck did not improve, but once again his friend enjoyed exciting action with smallmouth bass at Mashpee-Wakeby Pond and with largemouths and big pickerel at ponds in the Falmouth area, all on swimbaits, crankbaits, and Ned Rigs. Fall-stocked trout ponds on and just off the Cape including Long Pond in Plymouth and Peters Pond in Sandwich should be great places to fish in December. All kinds of baits and lures will work, but in the frigid water of late fall/early winter live shiners often attract more attention, particularly from brown trout.

The canal is still giving up a few schoolies according to Ian at Red Top Sporting Goods and he has seen photos and received word of the occasional slot fish moving through. Topwater lures and jigs have been working for their customers who refuse to give up. Long Pond in Plymouth has been giving up some nice largemouth, trout and some large pickerel. They have everything you need for a successful freshwater outing.
