Highland 6/15
Message:
Wanted to go pre-fish for the Reynolds tourney on the CT River but changed my mind after looking at the BS weather report this morning. Anyway, went to Highland instead. Time: 6AM - 12PM Water Temp: 63-68 Clarity: Very clear in some spots, muddy and stained in others, but I mostly fished in areas that had anywhere from 2-4 feet of visibility. Location: Most of my fishing was done in the shallow cove behind the island club. Started off working suspending jerkbaits simply to work on technique. No takers. Wanted to work on frog presentation and technique and found some reeds and pads. On taker (Snag Proof/white), but in his exuberance while attacking the frog, he forgot one important detail...eating it. Switched to soft plastics (Senko/Sweet Beaver) in natural colors like watermelon green pumpkin and sprayed grass. Caught 5 fish. All keepers, though I didn't measure two of them because I'm sure they were probably close to being shorts :roll: First catch came on the Sweet Beaver in 3 feet of water on an isolated brushpile about 3 feet off shore under an overhanging bush on the bank. She was the highlight of the day. My scale said 3 pounds 13 ounces. (see Sal's post below - I removed photos to save people's eyes from bleeding) All other fish came in 0-3 FOW near moving water sources (one was just a trickle), that seemed to be the pattern for me. Here's the 1/9:
