Last Sunday was but the latest in a long line of instances where paying attention to the cues and clues the fish and mother nature are constantly offering us resulted in a payoff of the big fish kind. We saw activity — a school of some kind of small fish (perhaps they were sunfish or bluegill, perhaps perch or golden shiners, what difference does it make — they were potential food for a big bass) broke the surface within a long cast of where we were working the break from a shallow flat into deep water View the entire post — Pay attention on the water!

Chris King is one of my oldest fishing buddies. He and I were members of Central Connecticut Bassmasters together back in the 70s, when it was the only BASS Chapter in the state. View the entire post — Florida residents — old bass and old friends 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 It was cold and unpleasant enough today to keep me from fishing. I slept in, knowing that it was going to be frigid at daybreak. When I finally checked at almost 9AM, it was 6 degrees. Predicted high for the day was 21, and that wasn’t supposed to happen until after noon. As I write this, a bit past 2:30, it’s 17.3 outside, and that’s the warmest it’s been all day. I’m talking temperature here, not wind chill. View the entire post — It doesn’t happen very often, but… 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 A caught this strangely marked bullhead a quarter mile or so south of Fields Bay on Lake Champlain this past weekend. Never seen anything like it. There were numerous orangey looking blotches — a couple on its back and a few more on its flanks. The pattern of the blotched looked almost symmetrical. Note the almost [...] The largemouth record in Connecticut is 12-14 and has stood since 1961. For all intents and purposes, it will take a 13 pound bass to beat the existing record. How likely is that to happen? A handful of relatively giant bass caught in Candlewood this spring have gotten the the record juices flowing in the imaginations of a number of bass anglers in the state. EIGHT AND NINE POUNDERS! Wow! Lunkers for sure. But to put it in perspective, the largest of those giants was only slightly better than 2/3 the size needed to break the existing record.
