With this storm that’s been skirting around us for the past few days and is projected to sit squarely atop us until tomorrow morning, I’ve been watching the weather forecasts very closely — hoping against hope that I’d have a good window of the kind of conditions I need to get the boat out of the yard and fish tomorrow and Sunday. View the entire post — Hey weather guys — WTF?

Today, Kevin VanDam won his 3rd BASSMasters Classic. He won it in dominating fashion, surging from 2 oz back to a 5 pound margin of victory on the last day of competition. It was a strange tournament, in that the top 5 anglers all did basically the same thing (threw lipless crankbaits) in the same [...] Feel free to reply with images  I'm guessing he doesn't have a license This is the most fascinating thing I’ve seen on the internet in a long while… These are all models A lot of the scenes are so realistic that the only thing that gives them away is the lack of litter. The ’50s were clean, but not that clean. That and the lack of people in the scenes. Wait [...] The lawmakers in Connecticut, faced with an historic budget deficit, have proven incredibly short sighted in their creative financing attempts. I can just imagine the committee meeting where the concept of doubling the fees the State charges for just about every permit, license and certificate it issues was conceived, with lawmakers doing their best Guinness Brothers commercial impressions. “Let’s double the cost of a fishing license,” “BRILLIANT!” View the entire post — “BRILLIANT!” Back in September, I blogged the DEP’s Candlewood Lake user survey. Well, the results are in, and guess what? The lake residents seem to blame fishermen, and especially bass tourneys, for all the problems they perceive on the lake. And vice versa. Click for results. Share [...] Regular readers probably know that TV weather guys are among my pet peeves. I hate their need to make themselves sound like something they’re not. (What the hell is a “futurecast?) I hate their penchant for inventing new terms for every day words. (Ponding? didn’t we used to call that puddles?) Most of all, I hate their alarmist reporting, making every forecast sound like the end of the world is coming. Today though, I was kind of glad they made it sound a lot worse than it was going to be. Kept a lot of people away from the river, I suspect. View the entire post — Schoolies Might seem odd for a guy in the north to be talking about the beginning of a new season at this time of the year, but that’s where I’m at. My “fishing season” has long ended with the last cold water largemouth trip of the year — typically on either Lake Zoar, Lillinonah or The Hudson River — fishing for largemouth stacked up in cold water aggregation spots, where I’d fish until ice prevented me from getting the boat in. I still consider that development to be the end of the season, so what I move on to from that, must be the start of the next season. Even if I switch from LMB to winter stripers in the middle of the day, as I’ve done a few times in recent years. View the entire post — And so it begins… …well, since I don’t know when. Side imaging sonar, probably. Nah, this is even more attractive to me. I don’t excite easily. I’m old and by nature, I’m skeptical to the point of being jaded. But despite not even having seen it yet, I’m excited about the Minnkota i-Pilot™ that’s due to start shipping next month. My usual aversion to ‘first generation anything‘ may even be swept aside by my eagerness to get one of these on my boat. View the entire post — I haven’t been this excited about a new product since… The CT DEP has been mandated by legislation to conduct a survey of C’wood boaters. It’s obvious from some of the questions that it’s been written, or at least influenced, by the anti-bass fishing crowd. Everyone who fishes there should take a few moments to print the form, fill it out, and mail it in. |
