Took some people from work for a fun fishing trip on Candlewood.

Water was stained, temp 78F, clear skies, lite wind.

Fished mostly weed bed in about 15-25 FOW. Noting, threw everything but the kitchen sink.

Talked with a few other guys and it seemed to be the same for them.

There was a cold front the night before so that might have had a big effect on the fish.

Around 11:30 worked a stone wall, (FOUND THEM) It seemed they were stacked against the wall. They were hitting tubes, jibs, swim baits.

Best fish was a 2+ smb, I lost a monster at the boat. It was a smb that went well over 4+.

I caught that monster on a customer jig I made and was playing with.. It's a good feeling that something you made catches fish..

Hey, Ron, thanks. The cold front might explain why Flipper and I didn't see any northern pike or too much of anything else at Hopeville Pond on Friday, either.

Peco,

That's where I'm putting my money. I'd hate to think I suck that bad...

Just to get out makes it worth it. Wondering why Jim passed on the retort.
