Big Lake Fishing
Message:
Hey all: Been out 3 times so far with the boat. Hit Zoar, lake housatonic and Powers for the tourney. Have only boated one fish(pickeral). Matter of fact, only had one bite. Thrown the kitchen sink at them- Trap, jerk, jig, slow rolled spinner, carolina rig. Anybody having luck in the sub 50 degree water on larger lakes? Seems like the smaller lakes and ponds are producing. Is this due to faster warming or less pressure? Thanks for listening..... Brennan

I would think its because the smaller ponds warm up quicker.... On sunday wetherfield res., which is very small/shallow had some areas with temps up to 54 deg.... I would try finding an area with a dark bottom....like rip rap or something... I heard that dark bottom areas warm up quicker. I have never been to Zoar or Housatonic so I dont know if spots like are availible. just my 2 cents

Wow: 54 degrees? That is a world of differece from 42.5 degrees last sunday.....I wonder what smaller lake like Quanni are doing. I know it is closed until opening day, but maybe it is warmer... Where can I take a bass boat that is warm right now? Any ideas?
