DAY 1 Yesterday

The story

The details

After work I went to a local school pond which was partially open again.

The shore was covered with cat tails and only one spot in this area was open enough to cast from.

This is the same spot 2 weeks prior where my buddy had missed a decent size large mouth

Casting a brown double rattle double blade spinnerbait.

About 5 cast into the afternoon of fishing a get a hard hit, set the hook and reeled this one in.

I left about 20 minutes after that fish to lake K which is a Big Bass/Carp lake and was skunked for the 2 or so hours I was there for.

I was at the pond and lake for about  2-3 hours the hole time out the only hit/bite I had was from that one fish.

I ended up seeing some Fox and was entertained by them before I left Lake K - Home

I have some pics if anyone wants to see them

DAY 2  Today

My buddy and I go in search of open water out of 4 places we find one Big Bass/Crappie lake which was partially open.

We fished lake UP K for about 1 - 1½ hours (no rain) and neither of us had a hit

We tried many types of hard and soft baits

Since he lives near the school pond we headed there.

We both broke 2 openings  through the cat tails to fish

We catch nothing for about 20 minutes and then the rain starts pouring down.

He moves to the spot where I caught my bass yesterday

His phone rings and its for me as I walk to him "Mike a got a nice one"

I quickly get off the phone in time to see him lose a 4lb (if not more) LMB right at his feet... Nooooooo

He cast his spinnnerbait out again and this time catches a 2lbs

Again before those two fish and the rest of the time after (½ an hour) we had no hits...

I don't understand why we only catch fish in this exact spot of the pond and why nothing was caught in either of the other BIGGER places we tried.

Pics from the school pond

Could someone tell me what the name of this fish is

A couple from Lake K

I fished that hole left side and the shore I was standing on  Doh my finger slid into the image while I was trying to block the blinding sun

Then I fished the opposite side about the same length since the rest was ice

Then Lake UP K from today

where in ct is all of this?...we don't have any water to fish yet up in the nw corner...

Fairfield county

South West CT

Nice looking pics and write up. Looks nice to see the ice leaving the water. Hope it does here soon also.

I have become humble, I appreciate the chance to fish places now when so many others who don't live very far still have there fishing holes locked up under ice...

Thanks guys

Beautiful pictures!!!

Very, very beautiful pictures!! 8-)

Looks like you found a HONEY HOLE!!!  I would keep it between you and your buddy.  During this time of year, the fish are usually stacked in an area like you found.

There could be lots of reasons.. Bait, Deep Water, etc.

Nice Job.... Tight Lines.....

Nice pics.  Wish I had some open water my way.  Oh well soon enough.  Oh and by the way those aren't cattails, that plant is an invasive species that causes huge problems called Phragmites.  Yikes!  I hate that stuff. >
