Farmington River - Simsbury 8/14
Message:
I hit the Farmington River today with Tim (Fishface). We launched at Curtiss park and headed up river. We started fishing around 5:30am and I ended up leaving at 11:30am. Tim was still fishing when I left. The sky was clear (foggy at 5:30am) and the water temp was about 68deg. I caught my first LMB under some cover not far from the launch. It was a 13" (1lb 2oz) LMB caught on a wacky rigged 5" green pumpkin/ pearl laminate dinger. We moved a bit up river and came across a nice laydown that we worked for quite a while because it was a big one. Tim caught several fish one of which was this 3lb 7oz fatty...

The next fish I caught was in the same place Tim had just broke one off and I ended up catching the same fish with Tim's hook still in its upper lip...lol...it was a 12" LMB on a 5" wacky purple w/ emerald flake senko. My biggest fish of the day was caught in about 4ft of water at the edge of a stand of grass. This one was a 15" (1lb 8oz) LMB caught on a wacky 5" pumpkin senko. Tim should have a pic up of that one later...not a monster but it was a nice fish. Then about 2 minutes later I caught a 10" LMB on the same rig and in the same grass as the other one. I had no luck with the jigs I tried out today or the pop-r I tied on for about 10min. Tim ended up catching several more fish than I did but I'll let him fill you in on the rest of his catch later.
