Lake Cochituate 8/16/2010

First time at LC. Rented a canoe and explored the north half of the middle lake and the southern eighth of the upper lake. Got a nice bump shore-casting a floating minnow adjacent to the boat ramp, but didn't get a real bite until I hit the water. While I saw some LMB along the western shoreline of the middle pond, the best action was along the north shore and between I-90 and Rt 30. While I didn't get anything of notable size, I caught 1 LMB, 1 SMB, 2 Pickerel, and 3 Sunnies on a shallow shad rap and a floating minnow. Was a fun day.
