Where do I begin!!???? This event to me is like looking forward to Christmas!!!
Ethan and I set out early and were on the water by 5:30!! The temperature gauge in the truck read 29* at the launch!!!! Yikes!! The first thing I noticed was that the river was up atleast 6-7 feet from the previous day!!! Ethan quickly informed me that the river was debri-laden!! There were many trees and foreign objects flying down the river!! We motored down to our first spot which was a great choice!! We found crystal clear water and slower moving currents !! Perfect!! Our first spot looked unbelievably PIKEY!!!
And soon after I hooked into the only fish we boated ALLLLLLL DAY!! At 7:20 AM !!!
We also saw Daddy Pickle and RoxyMuddin doin their thing...
Ethan and I fished hard!!!!! The fish I caught came on a Bubblegum Houdini.... I used that as my main lure all day... Between Ethan and I we threw everything we had at them all day... Every color and every lure!! I got hit once more on the Bublegum Houdini but couldn't manage a hookup! We decided to troll a few areas too.... Heres A DEN Style Photo!
It was getting close to 12:00 and we had a long drive down to Haddam.. Stopped at one more spot and had a beautiful fish follow A White Spinnerbait to the boat... Then he turned around... and slowly swam back down to his lair!!
