We held our late summer fish-in on Aug. 22 at Scott's Pond and it was a big success. We had about 12 fishermen attend, good numbers for a RI fish-in. We had kids from the neighborhood, Charlie and Jeff Allard, Steve Barbato and his son and friend, Steve, Steve Mc Kenna, and Chris, Vinny and Jerome from MA along with myself.
We landed 9 mirror carp and 1 common. The fish were on the small size, all less than 10 lbs., but many fishermen caught their first mirrors ever! Our goal was to fish for mirrors and catch some. Don't be fooled....if you return to Scott's, there are good numbers of mirrors in this pond that weigh over 15 lbs.
Best fish of the day went to Al Lannon, a neighborhood kid who landed a mirror of 8 lbs. The hottest team was the father/son team of Jeff and Charlie at peg 4. Using corn on a hair rig ahead of an oatmeal method ball, they landed 3 mirrors.
While many fishermen left at dark, the few of us who stayed were treated to better action and mor runners as the after dark fishing was definitely more productive than the daylight fishing.
