Gonna fish the river for thr first time tomorrow Anyone have any good pointers about where and what to use? Im in the north central area near enfield/agawam

No injuries outside of missing eyes

Cat fished into the night today using both cut bait and whole (small) blue gill as bait. Wasnt a very active day, the turbines were spinning against us today...night fell, decided to call it. Reeled back in the whole BG...and its eyes were GONE! Nasty coz id only hooked it around the spine, probably could have survived but I don't understand? What fish eats the eyes but nothing else??

Perch!!!!

I have heard peppermint oil and lavender oil works as well. If I didn't have to spend so much time outside in the woods for work I'd get after these natural solutions... but for now, I'll suffer the deet.

Awesome

My parents live up there, so I go up intermittently to fish. Ice fishing as well! Lots of perch around the Tolland area, and some nice LMB.

Smallest rooster tails possible, use slow pitch jigging

I fish Fayetteville area almost every weekend. But that's a little bit away

LOL! At least you caught something. It would have been a disappointment to be rowing around with baitboxes without anything to show for it!!!

Went over to a small private lake after work just to relax a bit! And BOOM! I didn't have a scale, but she was big! I spent 5 months unable to catch an LMB in Georgia, and only recently broke the streak. Pretty happy!!!

Hello! I have been fishing for a little over a year now. Outside of vague childhood memories, I learned how to fish while on an overseas tour in Korea with the US Army. My fishing adventures began with a long, traditional Korean cane pole (no reel) angling for Amur catfish and Asian Carp. I have since moved on to spin reels, moved back to the US and fish all down the East coast from CT to NC to GA. Mainly I fish freshwater lakes/ponds and some rivers. I go after mainly bass and cats, but love to catch other fish as well like perch, trout and pickerel. I have saltwater fished only a few times off an island in Korea. I mainly catch-and-release, but sometimes eat. No boat here, only shore fishing. Happy to be a part of this forum and expand my knowledge base of this awesome passion I discovered in a foreign land!
