Pequonnock River
Message:
With the time I still had Thursday afternoon, I decided to take a ride to areas of the Pequonnock in Bridgeport and Trumbull. Seeing it was overcast out I threw a size 7 bleeding pearl Rapala Original Floater instead of the brighter firetiger color. Also gave a 1/16oz white maribu a few tries in slower moving water with sandy bottom. All areas I hit never showed any signs of life. Today was one of those post frontal February days with cooler temps, overcast skies, NW winds, and high pressure.

Yes I have Alex. Any Rapala imitating a small minnow and dives shallow is what I hit them with, other than Rooster Tails. Last year I was catching many at a certain pool in Trumbull with a 6cm silver Rapala Husky Jerk. The freshwater areas in Bridgeport below Bunnells Pond hold fish that get swept down the dam when water is high.
