Connecticut fishing reports 2010

Excellent reports and pics bro!
Congrats to Sandy on her fish!!



Got OTW at about 8-pm,tide was ebbing.
very quiet and no bait around.
Had my wife with me to practice her fishing skills.
her stick is an old but,new daiwa Regal-Z-Strike spinning rod with a
stingray aqua-40 saltwater reel on it. quite a nice setup.

we casted small wood and rubber for like 2 hrs.once the tide reached
it's middle and slowed a bit did I get a hit.
I took a short break to pee and lit a cigar then checked my line for
frays.

Suddenly,my wife cries "Honey,,,oh my god!,,I got him,I got him."
I spin around to see the rod bent over,her leaning over and drag
slipping.
I tell her to take it easy,let the rod beat the fish.
she puls up and reels down,doing a great job.
she slides the fish up the landing chute and she has it.
I was impresse,Sandy did a great job of it and was smiling wide!
I must admit,I had gotten bummed that she didn;t get anything and that
she would not get any this year.Now she has.

Later I got a total of 4 fish and suddenly,she is leaning back,rod bent
and drag slipping,she is into another fish.
I was like no way!,,shes on again!.
this fish was about the same and she was shaking with happiness.I was
proud of her staying out there in temps too cold for most women to even
think of fishing in.

I have several shots of her and the fish to share,I shall send them to
you guys.
both caught on saltwater assassins.


Can I get another Hell yeah?,,,,,,,,

yeah,I'm a proud husband!

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].
