Granted I'm up in the Torrington area where nature is lagging behind. The ponds up here seem pretty dead. So is it me???? I'm questioning my bass aptitude right about now so someone please talk me off the edge!! |
The warmer the water, the better the bass fishing. Up in Torrington, I'd fish the bottom eight to 12 feet deep, although I'd also test out shallow laydowns in the afternoon. At Spring Pond in Avon on April 22, I caught three largemouth bass and missed two more, all shallow with a wacky Senko. On May 2, after the recent cold rain, I didn't get even a nibble. I would have tried fishing a jig deeper, but don't really enjoy doing that from a kayak.
Don't worry, the bite will improve as the water continues to warm.

Hey Phil! I fished a 1/4oz Bitsy Bug with Bleeding Hook in Black / Blue and Green Pumpkin with Orange and a Baby Paca Craw on Highland and did "WELL" Sunday
Looked for rocky bottoms. Wind was whipping. Had a hard time keeping the jig down.

| I've been fishing a 3/4 oz jig and trailer dragging the bottom where ever I've gone but nothing but a few taps. I haven't been out in the canoe yet so it's all been from shore. I suppose I'll have to hope for warmer temps. Thanks! |

I actually use the same weight jig scorpio and i have caught some really nice size fish, what colors are you using? I have noted that smallies really like the blue and black, i fish yum craw that are similar color and i always catch something.

| I mostly use a green pumpkin skirted jig with a motor oil grubster trailer and usually have a lot of success with that. I'm going to try to hit a few spots after work today. We'll see... |
