Batterson Park Pond 06/18
Message:
I was thinking about how I'm going to miss the Hell's Angler's night tourney at Candlewood on July 1, so I decided to fish Batterson Park Pond in the evening for walleye. I arranged to meet Fishface (aka Tim) out there after 7:00 pm. My inlaws are over at my house, so I went to Dick's with my father-in-law to get him a CT fishing license and pick up an orange Future Beach Trophy 126 fishing kayak. We got to Batterson and on the water at 7:30 pm. Tim was already out there. My father-in-law paddled the new Trophy 126 and I pedaled The Other Woman (i.e., my Hobie Pro Angler). There was a slight west breeze, and the air was still warm and humid. The water temperature was 74 degrees. We trolled silver shallow shad Rapalas, SSR-5s and SSR-7s, and by the time that I caught up with Tim near the east shore, I got a hit and landed a small white perch:

We stayed out on the water until about 9:45 pm, when my father-in-law could no longer stand the pain in his a$$ that was caused the the Trophy 126's lousy seat. A seat upgrade is definitely in her future. I ended up boating three white perch and my father-in-law boated two. Tim stayed on the water after we left, but I know that he got at least one white perch and a 12 inch walleye.
If you plan to hit Batterson after dark, don't forget to douse yourself with 1000 percent DEET before you go. The mosquitos there are ferocious. On the other hand, it was much less weedy than I thought that it would be. Trolling the Rapalas was a breeze.
