CT River - 06/09 Middletown area (PB Pike)
Message:
Went out with my Boss on his 20' Triton yesterday.We launched from Rocky Hill Ferry and hit the water at about 12:30. He knows the river like the back of his hand so we went through all his spots. We started hitting a shoreline with wacky senko's and were pulling up small - medium size smallmouths, about 5 of them. We were just wrapping up at the spot when my boss gets a nice hit on his wacky senko. When he gets the fish to the boat we see to our surpise a pike! Considering he was using a light set up with about 8 lb fluoro, we were surprised the toothy predator didnt cut the line. This one was about about 30" [img:3f84794b6d]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16318[/img:3f84794b6d] From there we headed off to where the Mattabesset comes in. There was some guys in a tournament in there who seemed to be doing alright. We fished the weeds and shore there, catching 4 pickerel (14-22"), 3 more pike (16-25"), and a few smallmouths. Till dinner we fished a few more spots using wacky senko set ups, and pulled in 10 or so smallmouths, 2 of them being a nice healthy size (2-3 lbs). From there we grabbed dinner at the restaraunt there at harbor park, conveniently able to pull the boat right up. After we decided to hit a few more spots, targeting pike. The tide was up and we were throwing spinner baits. As i was reeling mine in, WHACK. After a 10 or so minute fight, i got my personal best pike. It was ~ 36/37" and 12-13 lbs.

Overall a great day on the water!
