This year Josh and I decided were going too keep track of all of our fish. After last season where we litterally had no clue of what we caught, we thought it would be cool too see where we stand on December 31st. All of our fish so far have been caught on artifical. No live bait and none through the ice. This winter was by far the warmest one of our lives and the fishing never died off. From Candlewood in January to the Housy and the CT River the past few months the numbers are pilling up fast. So far the highest totals are the LMB and second most is Pikeral. There seem to be more of them this year than ever.
So far this year ive had my personal best largemouth - 7lbs and smallmouth - 4.7lbs. We also have more pike this season than all of last year. We have 25 pike total! Although smaller than the norm they are still pike. Its been nothing short of a great start. Stay tuned!
Took a long break from this blog after my father passed away in 2015. At that point going to the water was my escape and way of grieving. Fishing still helps me feel closer to him today. While i have some down time post op, i decided to jump on and check this out and possibly write a little bit again. A lot has changed since my last post, most importantly i am a father to a wonderful 5 year old daughter Autumn. Instagram will have most of my updates linked below.

Rainbow Res 3/24/2012
This is my first post on here. So first welcome to our blog. We decided to hit rainbow res for some smallmouth action on sunday due to candlewood being far away and packed on weekends and the housy being full of people with no clue. Well it was a good call. It was cloudy with some showers but we were the only boat out there most of the day. We tossed out jerk baits all day. First fish came off of a down tree and too our surprise it was a nice calico. Next cast same spot a largemouth. Few cast later a smallie. We started to figure out the pattern. The fish with the water temps now up too 57 degrees are moved all the way up too the shore lines and definitely holding to cover.
Josh gets hit on his xrap hard and has a good fight going and looks down and see's another one chasing him so i threw in my smithwick jerkbait and bam. Double hookup. This ended up happening again a little later in the day.
We fished from 10am to 4pm and caught a total of 11 smallmouth 1 largemouth and 2 nice calico's. It is a beautiful body of water up there with crystal clear water. It was only our second time there, but i have a feeling were gonna be back sooner than later.

We used these two lures most the day-
:Smithwick 5 inch jerkbait / shinny gold with red face
:Xrap 5 inch / silver black and red
