Re: Connecticut Fish pics
Roddy, I would trade all the bass I caught in Sept and till now, just for some nice gators like that....
We had them from about the first to last week of Sept.....and it was incredible,.....challenging as they would not touch ML swimmers and focused on small bait...the best action was when they hammered the mullet and were a little less picky......
Folks shake their heads when they hear me saying this, but I would rather catch those bluefish, every day, than the scattered bass we have down here right now..........
Looks like you are having a blast......:viking:
thanks for sharing the pics with the members here.....:thumbsup: :HappyWave:
Re: Connecticut Fish pics
well DS,I'll tell you,they have been funny here too.following the lure and not hitting or boil after the plug and not hit.
then you can see them around clearly and they act as if you were not there at all.
even this spring,bicycle George was telling me that the fish would follow the pencil and not hit.you stop it and they would circle it then you move it and they follow it again,thats just crazy.
I dunno,just keep slinging I guess.

Re: Connecticut Fish pics

Re: Connecticut Fish pics
Yeah really love those bluefish pictures ripplugger. We had some big ones around april into may in the river and back bay but they left too soon. they are a lot of fun though they do really destroy your tackle.
Re: Connecticut Fish pics

Re: Connecticut Fish pics
Back on the bass again Roddy! :thumbsup:
How did you and your wife fare after the hurricane? Power, any damage, etc?
It crushed a lot of folks in NJ and LI.....we are down but not out.....:blackeye: :headbang:
The colder weather and winds has given the fish in many of our bays and rivers lockjaw....last week there were a lot schooled up, and some pockets of high teen bass..... but with some bay/river water temps in the low 40's many have moved into the ocean by now...
Big blues....we had them before the storm, in the surf, to the high teens....:bigeyes:....would really like another shot at them as they come down the E. River and Hudson and out through the NY Bight...there were an unprecedented amount of spot (lafayette) holding them in the Hudson before the storm....
What forage are they eating?.....here it's been corncob mullet, spearing, and rainfish in close.....
and things are slowly starting to get back to normal....
Good to hear from ya, stay safe...:HappyWave:
