On the Road Again.....
I'll be spending the next 2 weeks in Connecticut for work so naturally............
Found a few nearby spots. Unfortunately Indian lake which is on my way to work is.........private.  But, I did find a nice spot on the Housatonic River, with a public boat launch, about 10 mins away from the hotel. Nice spot!! Unfortunately, after throwing a crankbait, a spinner, and a swim bait, I only dinked out with the spinner. Got 2 "large"ies and a yellow perch. I did see LOTS of fish activity around but I think it was toooooo shallow on the edge and deepened up in the middle. That's were the most activity was anyway. Wouldn't mind gettin a day permit and bringin the boat up sometime................ [IMG]http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i419/NorthjerzyG/IMAG0009.jpg[/IMG

Re: On the Road Again.....
Try to get on Candlewood Lake. It's worth it.

Re: On the Road Again.....
Thanx! Looks like it would be a semi-hike, but if it's worth it......... How about Bantam lake?? Ever try it?? Read that it's, pikey!!!! But also weedy!! I'd imagine the shore spots are weeded.........

Re: On the Road Again.....
Went back out today for another shot. Funny thing is, when I went back to my spot it was chained of with a no trespassing sign.
 Must just close at dusk?Anyway, decide to scrounge up a new spot real quick. Found a nice spot further down stream. While walkin up I noticed a couple dead shad, one seemed real "fresh". So I got excited, maybe some live ones too? Nope, after an hour and a half I got the skunk. Still nice to wet a line though......... I've never fished for shad. Is it still possible to get some or are they just dying off? If so, what works best for them?

Re: On the Road Again.....
That is a bunker not a shad...

Re: On the Road Again.....
Hmmmm, ok. It does look like a shad right? So, if there's bunker around, stripers should be too?
