Heres a realtime report from our unemployed friend in his yak fishin the river.....1 smallie (came unbuttoned at yak) and 1 striper (again came unbuttoned at yak).....either the hooks are rusty or the person setting them is rusty.....hope the next update is better!
I see you guys were yukkin it up while I was out.Nice one TBob! Did manage to boat one.The one that came unbuttoned was alot nicer,probably woulda went 25" or better....Lookin forward to hearing from ya Don. By the way,the river is falling rapidly and suprisingly clear.I could see my orange paddle-blade to almost five feet.Charter Oak landing and East River Drive Park were gated this morning,had to launch in the Hockanum River.The stripers came on Fin-S Fish and Shad Raps and I had a smallie hit a Shad Rap.Saw a couple of guys in a boat pull a couple of small bass in Harford and watched a shore fisherman land a big catfish,maybe 8 lbs. The one that got away was pulling ALOT of drag,oh well.It was a beautiful day to be out,had to beat the cold front that's coming tonight.Took out at Keeney Cove.
Have been out a couple times the past few days.
besides my first striper(s) last Wednesday 4-7-2010
Sunday night 'The shark' and myself hit the Farmington late afternoon
nothing happening except a Mill fire on the river up in Windsor Locks so we hauled out and re-launched on the CT river for a front row seat, we were met there by skipperj9 and Co. needless to say we didn't catch any fish that night, but we all had a good time.
Last night, Monday Skipperj9 and myself put in an honest effort on the Farmington throwing Fin-s of many different color combinations, with nothing to show for it.
I will throw this in here because I don't think Mark will post. Today Mark the shark caught his first ct river striper of the season above Hartford in the Windsor area.
