Presidents Day At Bantam
Message:
Rolled out of bed at 3:30 this morning and took off to Bantam. Got there around 5 am and just sat in my truck watching the snow fall. My plan was to park near Point Folly then walk all the way to the incoming Bantam river. I took a drive to see where North Shore road brought me and I ended up finding the Litchfeild boat launch and parked there. I am glad that I didn't walk from the other side of Point Folly to there because it was packed! I was set up at 6 am and then another guy comes in and sets up about 50 yards away, then another guy on a quad sets up between us. Go the whole lake and has to go within 10 feet of our tip ups. Nice sunrise though [img:180ee55191]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7016[/img:180ee55191] Then around 7:30 picked up a chain pickerel. I left North Bay around 9 am when it just became a zoo and went down to south bay. Glad I did too. Got set up in south bay around 10 am then caught a nice pickerel around 10:30. Ended up to be a smart move because I had never had so many flags at Bantam in my 5 years of fishing there. I ended up with 9 flags and 7 fish. 4 chain pickerel up to 22 inches, 2 pike 22 inches and 28 inches, and a bullhead haha. South Bay was a ghost town as well. Only about 3 groups out there. I figured it would suck to because of the derby the day before but the fish were hungry there today. Heres the bullhead about 13" [img:180ee55191]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7013[/img:180ee55191] 22 inch pike/chain pickerel. Looked just like a chain pickerel but had the jaws of a pike: [img:180ee55191]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7010[/img:180ee55191] The 28 inch pike view: [img:180ee55191]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7007[/img:180ee55191] [img:180ee55191]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7004[/img:180ee55191] Most action I have ever had there in my life. The amount of flags I got today usually takes me about 4 weeks to get in the past at Bantam.
