My son wanted to go fishing so we picked up some minnows and a few pike shiners and went down to the old power plant canaI in Haddam.
We got to the canal about 10:00 and it was pretty windy so I had some problems keeping anchored.
My son had a nice hit on a pike shiner but it turned out to be a catfish.
Not long after that he picked up a decent size crappie on a minnow
The wind was picking up which made it tough to fish.
We were about to leave when I got a nice hit on a pike shiner but missed the fish.
A few minutes after that, my son gets a bite and brings in a nice pike just under 33 inches.
We left right after that and were off the water by 1:00.
I thought we would get more action on the small minnows but not too bad for a few hours. |

That last gish just makes the day especially when its your son that gets it! Dont know why my son gave up on fishing, everytime we went out he xaught some decent fish, my daughter also although she still hoes trout fishing with me when I go. Im much happier when they ard having fun! Congrats on getting in a few hours on a somewhat crappy day and winning.

| Thanks. It's always a good time when you can get out there with your kids. Even if he does always catch more than me. |

Nice Pike! How was boat traffic? I know they had a tournament in the area that's why I didn't head down there this weekend.

I thought it would be crowded too. I knew about a tournament being there but they must have cancelled it.
There was only one other boat in there when we were there. |

Should be nice fishing in there as long as it stays ice-free. Headed to Pulaski this weekend, but will hopefully be back out there for a few more weeks afterward. Likely see a few of you as the bass crowd will die down but the piking will just get better.
