winchester lake 9/11
Message:
hit winchester because the weather was good. got on the water at about 4 pm and there was a slight breeze. started fishing right away and went into the small cove on the right side of the launch. didnt catch anything so we hit the other side near the houses or condos. got a small 11" lgm on my spinnerbait. then i decided to hit the lilly pads next the house all the way in the back. my dad got a 10" lgm bass. worked our way through to the swampy part and my dad caught another lgm bass about 6" on a swimming senko and i was going to use it for pike but then decided to put it back.went to the lilly pads in the middle. my dad tied put a new swimming senko on and threw it to the edge of the weeds. he quickly got a hit and started reeling it in. then the fish spit it out and when he got it to the boat is was bit in half. that thing was pulling hard so im thinking it was a large pickeral or small pike. got off the water at 7:30 pm. not good of a day but had some fun. on the way back to the ramp we saw a 20 person kayak squad going into the lake for the night. i would love to upload pics but i dont know how to put them in gallery 2. if anyone could tell me how that would be great. -phil

Post them here in the report. That lake can be really tough a lot of the time, but when it pays out, it pays out big too! The 6.5lb LM and 42 in Pike i've caught there keep me going back!

Thanks for the report. Glad you had fun. Just a word of caution...it was a good call putting the LMB back and not using it for pike bait. It is not leagal. Here's a quote out of the CT Angler's Guide with a list of fish that can NOT be used as bait... [quote:a2f1e593b6][b:a2f1e593b6]BAIT[/b:a2f1e593b6] Any animal or vegetable, or their parts, living or dead, used with a hook for the purpose of attracting and catching fish. Any fish legally acquired, [b:a2f1e593b6]except largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, northern pike, trout, salmon, carp and goldfish [/b:a2f1e593b6]may be used as bait.[/quote:a2f1e593b6]
