Mattabessett River 8/21
Message:
I had the day off, so I got got up early and headed down the Mattabessett river Cromwell launch with my kayak. I start fishing around 6:30 and finished up around 12:30. For the first couple of hours, the action was steady and I landed a few small bass on an orange buzz bait. Then I got this bass about 18 inches on the buzz bait.

[img:d0e5fa5ac2]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21547[/img:d0e5fa5ac2] I ended up catching quite a few bass and a few pike, it was great to get a few nice size ones in the mix.

Great job getting on the fish, I missing having a yak, you can sneak right up on them without spooking.

Great report and nice looking fish. Where is the launch if you don't mind me asking? Also, how far upstream did you paddle?
