Farmington River - Simsbury 10/31
Message:
I hit the Farmington River in Simsbury this morning. I launched from Curtiss Park at around 7:15am and got off at 11:30am. I haven't had the best luck the last 2 times I have been out so I was psyched that about 5min after I launched I picked up my first fish, a 5" SMB. I didn't care how small it was...I just wanted to get that skunk off me :D Caught it and all my other fish on a square bill silver crank [img:97e06023ef]http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6184/dscf0001x.jpg[/img:97e06023ef] I threw a 5" wanky senko as well but no takers today on the worm. I headed toward the 315 bridge and picked up a 7" LMB. Nothing else was biting up there so I started heading down river. I fished the banks on the way down and picked up a 12" and an 11" fallfish off some structure. My next 4 fish came out of the backwater cove at the power lines. The weeds that usually take over that area in the warmer months were mostly all gone. I fished some laydowns and picked up a 9"LMB and this 11" LMB.

Threw the crank parallel with the laydown and picked up this 11" LMB.

Plus it was a beautiful day to be out on the water.
