Message:
Today i arrived at Winchester around 2:30pm. It was pretty warm and i petaled straight for the shade on the edges and headed for the back cove. I finally made it there and was on a mission. I planned on throwing. and trolling only 1 lure.It was my new replacement for the one i lost catching walleye at Batterson park.What else could this lure catch?[img:4928075258]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=20858[/img:4928075258] . After a couple of casts.

I picked up a crappie[img:4928075258]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=20866[/img:4928075258] Then a few rock bass [img:4928075258]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=20868[/img:4928075258] I headed back towards the big cove by the launch and picked-up a pickrel.[img:4928075258]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=20870[/img:4928075258] Had to take a picture of this.Which is bigger? [img:4928075258]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=20872[/img:4928075258] I lost a yellow by the side that had to be 2-3 inches.I couldn't believe it. I worked around the cove and hooked into a 3 plus pounder bass finally.It made a jump to say NO..NOT TODAY ..and sent my lure flying back at me. Would have been nice to get that bass but,that will be another day i guess. I reeled in and called it a day.Pike.perch.rock bass.crappie.pickrel and almost a bass that would have rounded out the day had i landed it. Lure of the day...Rapala SCRM-11 FIRETIGER[img:4928075258]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=20874[/img:4928075258]

I'm amazed that you didn't lose the Rapala while trolling it through the stumps! :lol: You have to love the variety of fish in there. Winchester Lake has very clear water. On a sunny day, all of the largemouth bass are under cover, whether shallow under vegetation or deep next to stumps. I once hooked into a 36 inch long northern pike while trolling a square bill crankbait down what I thought was the main channel in the center of the lake, but that was on a totally overcast, drizzly day.

After looking at your pictures… I think I caught a pike yesterday and didn’t realize it, because there shouldn’t be any pike where I was fishing lol… I wish I had taken a picture! I remember thinking “wow this pickerel is a lot darker than I’m used to seeing” right before I tossed it back. Damn.
