Candlewood Lake 8/29/2014

Dan1 and I headed out to Candlewood Lake today. Hit the water at 5am. I know it's crazy hitting that lake on Labor Day weekend but I figured as long as we were off the water by 2PM we would probably miss the I84 traffic before the silliness started.
This year fishing has been different. Top Water doesn't seem to be on for anyone I talk with. There are no set patterns. The fish aren't stacking up on humps or drop offs. The schools are small and good electronics are almost a must. Experience in knowing fish migration during various seasons in big lakes just doesn't seem to work this year. I've had to rely heavily on my electronics which I had no experience with until I was forced to use them this year. And when you find them at times you have to throw a multitude of presentation just to figure out what they want.
We started out in New Fairfield / Danbury section of the lake. Fished Top Water for about an hour. With only two blow ups and only one hook up we decided to move. Headed nine miles north and started fishing coves with 35' of water. Fish finder is marking actively feeding fish. This was the results.

Looks like you did alright out there. Nothing like the fight of a smallmouth bass! 8)

Learning how to use the electronics and having faith in them has definitely turned bad days around to better ones. The last two smallies were drag rippers. Every time I got them to the boat they'd dive for the weeds.
Large Mouth should be the predominate species this time of year. Especially with the late summer start but the smallies seem to be the most aggressive in the larger lakes.
