| Went to upper Moodus today with MarkO. got there around 9am fished untill 3 or so. starting water temp was around 48-49 deg. visibility around 3'. fishing was tough to say the least, Mark caught 3 with one being a solid 2.5lbs the one i caught just barely a keeper. fished shallow wood and deeper weed edges . at least the day wasnt a skunk wich could be the last trip of the season. and remind me not to fish shallow lakes with post frontal conditions |

Stumpy, post fronts or not Moodus can be a tough place to fish at times. Good job sticking a couple, like you said at least you didn't catch the skunk.

I fished a shallow pond yesterday after a shitty tournament. I caught 16 pounds for 5 fish. Moodus is just a tough lake- do alot better on lower.
Shallow to me is less then 5fow. |

Geez stumpy,..why do you keep going back there?
Unfortunately, what used to be one of the better lakes in the state has turned into a toilet these last few years!

gluton for punishmnent. i was suppose to go to poco, but the guy that came along with me suggested there. i did good there up to the post spawn. i figured with the water temps dipping down they would be in a similiar pattern as in the spring. still some pretty green weeds there but really no pads. i really want to try the river before i pack it in with the boat this year. |
