 |
|
| Hey all! Name is Mike and im recently starting to get into fishing. I remember doing it when i was younger but had no clue what i was doing yet beginners luck always comes through. Anyway I went to lake pocotopaug earlier today with my friend / brother from another mother (lol) and between the 2 of us we caught 36 fish, most white and yellow perch and 2 small mouth bass. Was a great day and experience considering we didnt have a boat. Ill try to update my experiences and hopefully ill learn a couple of things in the future here! |

Nicely done and welcome!! Tons of useful stuff here. I've just recently tried to get back into fishing too. A lot of helpful people around. If you have questions be sure to ask.

Hey, Mike, how did you get access to Pocotopaug? Isn't it private?

Yes, the lake is private to lake/town residents. I use to keep a boat on shore because a buddy had beach rights by way of a condo association.
Like most lakes in CT, it can be hot or cold. It doesn't have that "wow" factor alot of private lakes have because it is fished so much. |
