MASS B.A.S.S. Nation Classic Team Trail - Fridays - Webster Lake 5/17/2019
Friday Classic Team Trail Webster Lake 5/17/19
Back to Back
This has been far from a normal spring. More than a month ago the water temperature in most of the lakes in Massachusetts were in the mid-50s. On May 17th Webster Lake never went above 57. On a lake that is probably the most famous spawn lake in Mass, both the LM and SM were either off beds, still hadn’t “come up” or were totally confused as to what to do. That said, one team figured it out again and put together back to back wins on this trail that leads to The Classic Championship on Lake Hartwell.
On the first Friday Classic Team Trail on Santuit, where most caught a limit, Randy Phillips and Wayne Marquis caught just enough to win. On Webster Lake this past Friday Randy and Wayne weighed in 12.76 pounds, throwing jerk and chatter baits. Josh Cotier and Chip Servant took second with 10.06. Wayne and Randy had lunker: 3.83 lbs.
This isn’t normal for Webster Lake. I have seen over the years bags that averaged 4 pounds per. It was off and on rain all day and there was never a peak at the sun. Would it have been different if the sun was out all day? “It Is What It Is.”

Long Pond Lakeville: Cold Rain
The season has started for the Sunday Classic Team Trail. I want to thank the teams who showed up on a cold rainy day that made fishing terrible. The bite was slow and weights were down. However, all teams caught fish. John and Dan Hogle came in with the win for 11.72 lbs. Congrats Guys!
Our next event will be at Quaboag Pond in Brookfield on June 2nd. I hope to see all of you and more there. Thanks again.

2019 MassB.A.S.S. Nation High School Tournament Webster Lake: April 28th
First 2019 MassB.A.S.S. Nation High School Tournament
Webster Lake: April 28th
Jerry Ramasci has been the rock behind the High School tournaments for many years. A few years ago he had one hip replaced, but last week he had the other. (Good thing he only has two.) Obviously, a few days after major surgery, Jerry was not up to running the first high school tournament of 2019. No harm done, MassBASS Nation members came out of the woodwork to help run the tournament.
The weather forecast was not favorable with rain expected by midday. We made the decision to have the tournament end an hour early and the weigh-in started at 2 P.M. Webster Lake is famous for its big bags in the spring, but the off and on cold weather and rain for the two weeks prior kept most of the fish’s mouths closed. To make matters worse the rain was early and it came with a biting wind. The water temp never went beyond 56/57.
As always there were people that caught fish. Not many – 8 teams were skunked and 3 teams caught one fish. Very tough, but three teams came in with a 5-fish limit. The team of Romano Duncan and Jake Heath won with a limit and 9.76 pounds. Close behind was Nate Smith and Brody Trask with 5-fish weighing 9.18. Nick Frumkin and Andrew Lang had 8.15 pounds. 17 ounces separated 1st from 3rd.
MBN wants to thank all of the 23 boaters that gave up their Sunday for these school kids. They are the future of this sport and it is very important that we show we care about them and their desire to be great in this sport.
