It was slow in Fairfield the last day or two so I decided to head to the Housy and check out the action! Boy was I glad I did. I had my best bass total of this year. I landed 9 stripers near Stratford from 12"-24". There seemed to be two sizes. I caught 4 around 22"-24" and another four around 12"14" and one in the middle around 18". Wow! I caught the biggest fish on my second cast.
After I caught the first two things slowed down and I thought about moving spots. I said I'd give it another 3 casts, On the third I get a giant hit and miss. I decide to stay and land another 7 bass in the next hour. I'm glad I stayed. All fish except one were caught on my small chrome popper! I had had problems with misses lately. I switched and sharpened my hooks. What a difference, I landed 9 of 12 hits. Here's the rest of the fish.

I feel like PECO showing all my fish(I enjoy his posts), but I had my camera, took the pics, so here they are.

Nice, I was planning on heading around there after work but I noe have a crapload of firewood being delivered. Maybe I can get that done quick and head over there but I think by then I be into a crappy tide.
