Cloudless, bluebird skies and not a wisp of wind. It’s not the conditions you would expect to catch smallies on top in, but that’s exactly what happened today. Mostly it was soft jerkbaits, worked along or just under the surface, but this one hit a Sammy splashing across the top. Also caught them on grubs fished on [...] My New York fishin’ buddy “Wild Bill” & I started the morning at the lake whose name shall not be mentioned, and after catching a jillion little bass in a few hours, high tailed it to old reliable Mudge Pond. In the time it takes to put the boat on the trailer, drive from one place [...] I’m usually a big believer in natural signs. Active wildlife equates to active fish, etc. This morning on the way to the lake, we saw more deer along the roadside and in adjacent fields than ever. And there was the largest flock of crows by the lake I’ve ever seen. A group of crows is called [...] Saturday, 8/14 A saltwater trip with Steve & Dave wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad, either. After hooking up with a triple of stripers on our first drift we thought it was going to be gangbusters. But but things quickly settled down to a slow pick of stripers and blues, plus a sea bass and a porgy, [...] Lakeville was so good to me yesterday that we figured we could smack ‘em today. First, we get to the ramp and there’s a club tournament. I swear it wasn’t listed, but I just checked again, and it was. I’ve got no business griping about it then. Should’ve just turned around and fished somewhere else when we [...] Not sure what the problem has been, but Lakeville just hasn’t been herself this year. Today though, Lakeville — aka Lake Wononscopomuc — seemed very much like herself. After a sluggish start, I ended up with 34 bass — most of them over 2#, which is what I think of as typical for Lakeville. Got one [...] This was not a great fishing weekend for me. A salt water trip on Saturday proved a near bust, as I managed 7 or 8 bluefish to Steve’s 4 stripers. Sunday’s bass fishing was better, but not by a whole lot. Alex & I went to Mudge, looking for a flipping bite in the pads. Ended up [...] Jim & I hit the water at 7:30. Water temp 80+. Very slight algae tint to the water. Worked relatively hard for 17 bass and a double barreled squatload of big pickerel between us. View the entire post — Sunday morning at Lakeville Had a picnic at my daughters house this afternoon, so I only had a few hours to fish this morning. Hatch is only about 45 minutes, and it’s pretty easy to fish the whole place very thoroughly in 3 hours or so. So that’s where I headed. View the entire post — Quick hitter Saturday morning This weekend was kind of a return to the places I used to fish. Candlewood, for one. Love the fishery, and considered it my home waters for the better part of two decades. But I just can’t put up with the crowds any more, and being limited to fishing weekends for the most part, I almost never make it out on ‘the wood’ these days. View the entire post — Returning to my roots. Saturday, 7/3I joined Steve and Dave heading out of the Connecticut River for stripers, with a backup plan of fishing for fluke if the stripers weren’t hot. A couple schoolies on a jerkbait before leaving the river, then we each got a decent one early when we found them pushing bait under birds on a reef off Clinton. View the entire post — Independence Day Weekend Went out striper fishing on the CT River. Fishing wasn’t nearly as good as yesterday. I only caught two good fish, and broke off another two. Broke the knot joining the leader to the braid both times, and both times on the rod that I put together last night to sub for the one a bluefish ripped out of my grasp yesterday.
