Pine Lake 9/4
Message:
At 6:15 i arrived at Pine lake.I went to the back section and immediately went to the clearing just before the point. I decided to try a new topwater that i picked up today.Since i lost my black/gold/orange Jr spook yesterday.I purchased a small black/chartuse/orange belly Gary Yamamoto pencil. I worked with it for about a half-hour without so much as a swirl.I'm not too fond of it's walking compared to a spook. I took it off and went back to the Jr spook that i colored black with a permanent marker.On the first cast a bass hit the spook/missed then came back and hooked itself. [img:1e24fedca2]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21644[/img:1e24fedca2] I took a few more casts but,nothing.I then moved over to the point,made two casts and landed my second bass. [img:1e24fedca2]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21646[/img:1e24fedca2] .At that point i thought "I'm sticking with spooks as my topwaters!" I took a few more casts from the point and had only one more swipe and miss.I moved back to the first spot,made about ten casts and then had a missed hit then SLURP!There went my spook and this one put up a good fight as it went left,right,left,right then into the weeds.I slowly pulled it through to see a fat pickrel.I weighed this one and it was just over 3 lbs. [img:1e24fedca2]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21648[/img:1e24fedca2] . I took about twenty more casts with only one more swirl and miss. It was getting darker and again i moved to the point.On the fifth or sixth cast i hooked up with a larger bass in the dark.This time i had a light.This one was at 2.9 lbs. Hit the road at 8:00 [img:1e24fedca2]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21650[/img:1e24fedca2] Tomorrow I'm headed to Stratford again with gramps.Hopefully things will be better this trip.

Nice pickerel! I love getting into pickerel, esp during the spring and fall. Most aggressive member of the pike family pound for pound in North America.
