Spring Run 2012!

Well it's a start

Where's the fish at? All I see is a blinding yellow sweatshirt! ...................reminds me of the sun in the old "Raisin Bran" commercials............................."two scoops of raisins in Kellogs Raisin Bran!"

Might I suggest you buy a worm or two and hit a brook after the stocking truck leaves and you just might get your first fish of 2012

That is weird, I was thinking the same thing.

keeper? maybe, but I'm just glad to see lungs "youthful" smilin' face behind a recently caught fish. Now where's Tbob's?

Oh wait a minute. I know when it starts. It starts when Lung posts a picture of a keeper. He won't tell you WHERE he's catching but he'll be sure to let you know when he is catching!

By the way, a "smiley" face would go great on THAT shirt!

Why thank you PR ...seems Tbob is more interested in the casinos now than fishing I believe.

Seeing that my yellow sweatshirt is such a hit I sure am glad I bought 2 of em.....you guys are going to see a lot of those style'n shirts this spring since I am usually the only one with CT river north striper pictures besides "Slinger" and Tommy

Tbob had nothing to do with this St. Patty's day catch This fish was brought aboard "The Peter James" The only boat north of Middletown that consistantley puts his crew on fish.....

Ya lookin like friday in the river for me hopfuly the weather will be cooperative , Mostly some Pike and bass are the targert but a stray stripper would make for a pleasant surprize will be watching the reposts for info as day closes in make sure I bring a real rod for them

Hey I already got me one of those trout a couple of weekends ago while the snow was coming down. It was all of 9". Didn't really think posting a picture of it was necessary though. .We all know you catch Lung,we don't require proof. Now start showing us some cows!...........On another note.Hit Wethersfield Cove today with a buddy in his dad's boat. Water is high and really muddy,no fish. Only fished 2 hours before we had motor issues and had to call it a day early. Targeted species was pike and school bass.

Haddam area was slow Saturday. Real dirty water, but high tide was more like summer levels, and water was up to 48 degrees in the main river. The odd schoolie showing up for guys fishing the shoreline, but nothing for me. Still waiting!

Hit the river again with "Slinger" for a few hours...we caught fish ...just not what we were looking for...We boated a good sized sucker, a pike and a smallie, only grabbed a picture of the smallie to show off
my yellow sweatshirt for those of you fashion continence folk...and not sure if you can see, but my sweat pants were brown, very spory combination if I do say so myself.
OH!! on a less important note, all fish caught on lead heads and plastics.

what was the water temp?

what was the water temp?

I want to say 48, but the temp was not working on the FF, Slinger had a convo with someone coming off the river and I believe they said it was 48...Slinger will probably speak up if I am wrong.

Just a quick note, Slinger put a 33" in the boat this afternoon, more to come later

Do tell...
