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.

Went striper fishing in the lower Connecticut River this morning. The topwater bite on the outgoing tide was great, but there were quite a few blues up to the 12~14 pound range mixed in with the bass. I’ve got nothing against bluefish. They bite aggressively, pull hard, and are more prone to an aerial battle than the stripers. I don’t even mind the number of lures they destroy or bite off. Fair trade for the sport they provide in my book View the entire post — Why do bluefish hate me? Old friend and fellow outdoor writer, Darl Black and his wife from western PA are in state, and we try to fish together whenever one of us or the other are in the other’s territory for some reason. So Darl and Marilyn joined me at Lakeville this morning. The fish cooperated. ALL the fish cooperated. View the entire post — Old friends and a smorgasbord of fish. So I went to my designated, half-day pond — Hatch Pond. All the weather guys kept talking about for this weekend, was hot and sticky. So I was kind of surprised to find myself fishing post cold front conditions. View the entire post — Only had a half-day to fish. That’s Bass Fishing Weekend. With all the striper fishing I’ve been doing the past month and a half, I kind of needed a weekend fishing for my bread and butter fish – fresh water bass. View the entire post — A BFW to get my head straight. I’ve decided to ride this striper topwater action in the CT River for as long as it holds out. By all accounts, that’s probably this weekend. But you never know. My son-in-law, Jim took one of his 3 times a year fishing trips with me today, and got his personal best striper. View the entire post — Obsession? Maybe, but it’s a good obsession. |
