 |
|
Took the afternoon off and fished the river out of Haddam from about 1:30 till 5:30. It was the end of outgoing and the beginning of incoming tide during that time as far as i could tell. Water temp was 61 give or take a little. I fished jigs of different sizes & colors as well as a flick shake worm. The fish were pretty equally spilt between the wood & the weeds. When all was said & done I had boated 8 bass and two pike and got bit off by one more! All but one of the bass were keepers. The best fish were a pair of 3-lb bass and a pike that went 5.25! I'm pretty sure that one of the 3 lbers was the same fish I caught last time I was there as well, since it had some black spots on the side for markings! All in all, just a beautiful day to be out on the water! 
BTW,..just to show the influence of the tides,..I went back Sat morning around high tide and really had to struggle for 2 runt bass & a pair of perch in 5 hours!

In your experience what is the best tide, incoming or outgoing?

| Incoming for Bass, Outgoing for Pike! Don't know why, but that seems to be the norm for me. |
