Hit Red Cedar today in the canoe from 9am to 1pm. Picked up 2 bass on wacky rigged senkos, green pumpkin and black w/blue flake. Bass were about a pound each. Each caught near the weedlines and looked kinda thin, probably postspawn. Saw tons of beds but no bass on them. It's a great place to bring a canoe/kayak to, just go early in the morning or in the evening because the three people who live on the lake with pleasure boats are complete idiots.

When I went fishing last Thursday, I spent most of my time casting to the edges of isolated weed beds with wacky-rigged five-inch senkos, with no luck at all. It wasn't until I dropped one into the center of a bed that I got a good strike.

If the pond you're fishing has isolated weed beds and the largemouth bass aren't biting, try dropping your lure into the center of a couple of them. The three-pound bass I caught was lurking right in the center of one.

PECo,

Thanks for the tip, I was mostly casting into the shallower weed edges with no luck, and the fish I did catch were around the deeper weed beds. Next time I'll cast directly into the weeds and see what happens. Wink

Those black with blue speck senkos are my favorate color, caught my PB LMB on a texas rigged one in the dark. The purple with black fleck ones are awesome for low light times too. I am with you on the pleasure boats, I really don't see the appeal of circling a lake with you pontoon boat blasting bad music.

Too bad red cedar is like hours away from east windsor, do you have family out there?

DV,

I live in South Windsor, and the drive is only about an hour, which isn't a bad drive. It's about the same length as Mashapaug. I dont have family there so I only go there 1-2 times a year.
