Connecticut fishing reports 2010

[DarkSkies]

OTW at about midnight,TOF was at 9:40.
fish wee breaking all around,one here,another far away as I could hear
them.

using small wood I did 3 fish and lost 1,did another 2 on rubber and had
several bumps.still there are some nicer fatties around,I hit 3 of them.
I didn't do TOF on purpose since the last time the bait was waay up and
didn;'t come out till later on in the tide.

did some drifting and had only one bump so,that means the fish were
upriver too.
will try again tonight.
I took 3 pix.

Way to get out there in the cold, catch em up!






after doing my radio show,I saw that it was cold but,not windy,it may
have been blowing about 5 mph.
so,I decided to try one of my late season spots,tide was an hour 30
minutes before full flood.I got there and was watching,listening to the
3 rips.
I heard several smashes then saw 3 nice busts.
I had a beat up saltwater assassin that I had to cut the front quarter
off because it was torn up by fish a few weeks earlier.
I just put it back on the same leadhead.it went from 6 inches to 4
inches.
I slung that out,let it drop some and bayum! I had a fish on.
to shorten the story,I got a nice fattie that was about 8 pounds and 4
slinkers[fish 16 inches or less].
it got cold fast,my thumb was frozen and my levelwinds line guide had
icedust collecting on it.several times I had to clean it off.
anyhow,I had fun doing a few but,damn,it was cold.
took a few pix[7-8 pounds].
