Got there by 11am and got to work with a jerkbait. Caught a 2lb 1oz brown trout.
No other takers on a 5in xcalibur in clown or a blue aurora luckycraft.
Flung around a tube without a tap.
Picked up a blade bait hoping for a few perch. Second cast and a 1.5lb smallie eats it boatside in 14-15fow. 5 minutes later and I get caught in a rock, kick pop and it comes free only to get clobbered by a 2lb 4oz CHUNKY dark smallie.
Hit a 2 14 on the buddy and then another dink 1lber.
All in 12-15fow over rocks in the sun. That was it for the 3 hours I fished, tried like the devil to hit a fish on the jerk but couldnt get it done. Water temp was 53degrees. Areas wher bait WASNT prescent produced- opposite shoreline was loaded with bait and no smallies.
No pics thanks to locked the camera in the truck  always happens when I hit good fish. Felt good to finally catch some CT smallies. |

| I wouldnt doubt that it is turned over. Highland is a similar temperature. Turn over occurs in new england between 64 and 58degrees |

CT lakes have definitely turned over,...but as this report shows, it doesn't mean that the bass stop biting! (Right during turnover,..the fish get in a funk and don't bite,..but they are usually back to normal after about a week when the water clears..)
Nice job on the catching Nick!
