I just recently moved from Florida to Ma.
What kind of fishing can I do this time of year.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to BFT and thanks for taking the time to register.
What species are you planning on targeting???
There should still be some good Trout action as well as a few Northerns in the freshwater. Bass are down a little deep but still there. Bream/Blue Gills as well as Crappie should be holding down a little deeper as well.[cool]

In October the deeper lakes here go through the fall turnover and fishing tends to be poor. Stick to shallower lakes that do not turn over. Trout stocking is very big at this time of year. In Middlesex county Mirror Lake in Ayer and Long Sought for Pond in Westford are good trout spots.

I think i want to try out some freshwater I feel like i was spoiled being so close to the everglades just last year
A bad day was only catching a few 3-5 pound bass.

New Englander hit it on the head. The water is still warm for this time of year so do hit the shallow lakes. Even had a topwater bite as of last week. Sad to say if you get a few bass 3-5lb range a day your kickin butt up here. Last I heard the stripers where still up north, but they should be moving down your way soon.

as for water being worm in the lower mittin, its a balmy 62 degrees. I walked out in it alfrisko earlier this week to pull the dock, "no waders" talk about having a chilly willy [blush]
I was going to pull the dock poles today, but the chance of thunder blunders kept me from walking in to the lake... I dont mind the cold water, dont mind the rain, but the walking around in the lake with a lightning rod in my hands is not my idea of a hot time on the old town tonight...
as it happens we will have 75 degree temps again this weekend...
any way I saw some massive beds in the lake shallows... I sure got to wondering what made these 5 foot diamiter beds.... since they were not covered in silt just yet the must be some what fresh... It makes me wonder have I missed something on my lake after 35 years of fishing it?
