lilli sunday morning - TOP WATER FISHING!
Message:
times - 6:30 - 11.30 conditions - drizzle - lite rain (WATER LIKE GLASS) water - clear to stained water temp - LOL didn't even look species caught LGM SMLM PIKE yellow pearch Rock Bass rainbbow trout lures poppers flaoting rapala jitter bugs x-raps salt and pepper tubes i don't get up early to fish anymore would rather stay out at night fishing this time of year - BUT this was promising to be MY KIND of weather for bass fishing - i fished only one LONG stretch of water MY FAVORITE. headed to dam and started right at the BLUE station and headed back towards the ramp on the right hand side! - to the shepaug arm - this stretch if you fish lilli has it all coves - rocks - weeds - lay downs and timber.I KNEW it was going to top water ALL THE WAY with some exceptions! i just don't get to many days on lilli that are CALM!. the fishing was very good biggest lrgm was pushing 5 with plenty of keepers! as for the smallies keeper size to around high 3s - the rock bass were BIG and the yellows were big also (on tubes) - the trout was around 20 inches and hit a silver x-rap! - the pike both around 36. i would not say it was a banner day size wise -- BUT a hell of a fun morning! around 10:30 it all shut down and i figured go home take a nap! - and hope the RANGERS can make the rest of the day worth while! perhaps it was the winter we had or just a normal spring - I JUST DON"T KNOW - but every trip to lilli this spring has been GOOD TO GREAT!
