CT River 10/8
Message:
Went to the CT River this morning for a few hours with site member pmoneyct AKA (Pat). We got to the river around 8 and started drifting down river while working the Western shore.He threw a square bill maroon back/gold sided rapala crank while i started off with a size 10 rapala slash bait in hot steel color then switched to a gold shiner slash bait 10 after he caught this smallie right by the boat while fooling around with the trolling motor pedal. [img:ac942e44ee]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21872[/img:ac942e44ee] We worked our way down and he landed another smallie about 11 inches.......then a yellow perch about 9 inches.I had 1 smallie about 10 inches that i lost when it jumped and spit my lure and 1 hit by a larger one that i only saw when it rolled over. We worked our way back up on the other side and worked a marina without any action.We then shot farther up river and started drifting back down on the Eastern shore.We marked fish at 8-18 feet in 20 feet of water.While he worked the shore i switched to a silver buddy and tried jigging for the deep fish but,had only a tiny large mouth spit the thing when it jumped as well.We tried the above mentioned lures...spinner,baits and a rapala BX minnow (firetiger) but,no more luck. Got back to the launch a little after 12. No pike that we went there for.The water was pretty clean minus the leaves floating and suspended in the water column.Water temp was about 63-64 and was a little breezy. Thanks for taking me out Pat!I had fun in a new place despite the lack of fish for me.
