 |
|
Had enough daylight left after a dental appointment yestarday, to hit a local lake for a couple of hours so off I went to Rogers! Got on the water as the sun was breaking out of some scattered clouds,..water temp was 62. Tossed a jig and a dropshot for a while from 0 - 15 FOW without a sniff,..so I switched over to a small jerkbait and got a bass on the 2nd or 3rd cast with it. I then got on a school of what I think were white perch on a dropoff and was picking them off on just about every other cast until I got tired of it (4 or 5 fish..). Had about 45 minutes of daylight left so I hit my favorite midlake hump. Got nothing on the jerkbait or dropshot so I put on a small jig and picked up two more bass before quitting including this fatty that went 6.5 lbs!!

LOL,..yeah,..wherever I go EXCEPT tournies!!
I caught two which were a little over 8lbs for my PB,...both came from Quonipaug in the fall! 
IMO though, most CT waters hold a fair number of big bass. I catch my share,..not because I'm any big deal,..but because I throw a lot of big jigs and swimbaits especially on dropoffs to deep water whenever they're available!

As you know Mark, tourney fishing is a lot different than fun fishing, with no body else pressuring the water your on. Awesome bass anyway!
My problem is, that I don't get the time to get out and fun fish hardly at all anymore.
