 |

Took the kids to CT river/Salmon River yesterday. Used Salmon River Boat Launch (which btw was great/thx to member for recommendation).
Water level was down/all the trees exposed. First hour produced us nothing. About a mile down right before the turn on Salmon I got a hit from a Pike, but he escaped right before I grabbed him. He was about 36 inches...
On the way back, before dropping off one of my sons for a swap with another, I got a hit from a 2lbs Bass.
Both of my sons were getting skunked the entire time. We did only use plastics. Water Visibility was maybe a foot.
I did the same trip with my other sun, up and down the Salmon and we were unlucky again until we were on the way back.....which was a work out. Wind was up river and so was the tide.
I was trolling when 30" 4lbs Pike hooked. My first "real" pike.....as few weeks ago at Bantam River I got a 12"......can't count that hehe
After that we headed over to Eagles Park off CT River to hang out and do some off shore. I haven't been lucky here but to my surprise I landed a pretty big Pickrel. He was about 2 feet and 3 lbs. I'm guessing that's a pretty decent size (or maybe average)......I'm used to these things being 12-16" at Mondo Pond.
My kids had a ball even though they didn't catch much. I have to rig up Texas/Carolina rigs for them next time...
My son did hit a Yellow Perch on the doc but it escaped.
Pretty happy with the trip. Kayak did well! |
