Candlewood Lake
9/2/2009

Okay, well this is the second trip to this lake I've ever made. The first trip was great. With some experience the getting in the water was much smoother. We were off to a slow start Sean got a perch and I got a small smallmouth. A few drifts later thing start to pick up. To make a long story short I catch 13 smallmouth and a sunny. Sean caught about 12 smallies and 1 perch and a couple of sunny. We used bait and lures catching them on crankbaits jigs rubberworms shiners .

atlantic ocean, RI

Man I have always wanted to catch a shark. It almost seemed like something I wouldn't ever do. My good friend Sean told me stories of him and his brother catching them like crazy years ago. We had talked about going since last year and one day on lunch break at work we decide to do it. We headed out in to the Atlantic through the thick early morning fog. We arrived at our first stop as the fog lifted. I got to cut the chum, to most people it would be a chore but to me it was fun. 7 hours of fishing and two sharks and a dog fish. I caught my first shark ever an 8 foot blue shark and Sean got a 5 foot mako. The cool park was I had hooked the shark on the smallest rigg we had just to have an extra pole in the water. We used that rod for stripers and blues and to catch a shark on it it was a work out. The pics are on my profile i couldnt remember how to add them to the trip

Candlewood Lake

Captain Sean and I were going out here this was my first time and he had not fished here in many years. We stopped at the local bait shop. I think it was Candlewood bait ant tackle nice lady and older guy marks some spots on the map for us and we headed out. The first 20 min where the best. Thats because i got the biggest bass I have ever caught. After a few hours of slow fishing we got many other fish and some good ones. I got a 5lb 21" smallmouth biggest fish of the day. But sean got a 21,two 19,and a16 inch smallie 7 perch.

Dog Pond
6/30/2009

two and a half hours fishing from my kayak. First five minutes i get a 16 1/2 " largemouth on a snagproof leech. Many more hits to follow but couldn't hook anything. I switched to a spinnerbait and got an okay pickerel about 15". I found a frog lure in the pads and it had a pole connected to it. Its some cheap pole but still works. nice day sunny

Dog Pond
5/30/2009

I wanted to find some new bass fishing spots. I looked on the site and then in the dep lakes and ponds book. Looking at dog pond it seemed to be a great place to take my kayak. I spent about 4 hours caught 5 pickerel 19" being the biggest and 2 LMB 12" was the biggest. My kind of fishing weeds pads all the good stuff.

Dude,now is the time for catfish,the CT river is loaded with them and good sized ones too,I've never caught one under 3lbs.Five pounds and over fight really strong,some people turn their noses up at catfishing and carp too for that matter but I'm telling ya,they're fighters,it doesn't much matter to me,as long as there is a bend in my rod I'm happy.Night time is the best though,been meaning to get out at night for awhile now but have'nt been able to make it happen.The last time I took a night trip it was fast and furious!

Yep,my buddies does have a rudder and it does help alot on windy days,less paddling for correcting your course,easier to drift while fishing with out having to pick up your paddle as much.
