Housatonic River - Shelton 03/15
Message:
I usually try to not fish during the weekend, but fishfinder (aka Wade) was free, so we fished the lower Housatonic River. We launched my boat, The Other Woman, Too, at the Sunnyside Boat Launch Facility in Shelton and were on the water from sunrise to sundown:

Unlike on Monday and Tuesday, we didn't mark a single fish with the finder anywhere near Sunnyside. We finally found a small school just upriver from the cove at Pine Rock Park and I caught the first fish:

Once again, small white fluke jigs were the only thing the schoolies would consider biting. Here's Wade on the back of the boat:

Yeap, you can take the shore fisherman off of the shore, but you can't take away his waders, nine foot rod and Van Staal reel. :lol: We were on fish for most of the day, but they were [b:8b9fbebc7b][i:8b9fbebc7b]extremely[/i:8b9fbebc7b][/b:8b9fbebc7b] finicky. It took a while, but Wade finally boated one, too:

We did a little bit of exploring, going all the way to the upriver side of Two Mile Island, but mostly stayed downriver near or in the cove at Pine Rock Park. The bite definitely picked up near the end of the day and we ended up boating a couple of dozen schoolies. Here's number 24:

Strangely, we caught fish pretty much only in spots that Wade could have reached from shore. :roll: However, I think it was a lot easier getting there by boat. :wink:

Yeah, we were right on them thanks to Phils technology below but they were on strike most of the day! Water temp didnt change much at all. At the coldest point it was 33.6* and warmest was 35.1* so Im sure that had a little to do with it!

I believe this one below is Phils 1st fish of the day at 9:06 in the morning.
