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.

NW CT PIG by Mike O'Mara
Yesterday Joeyartifact and i got a late start around noon. we found
conditions far worse than we expected, with plenty of wind and a crisp
northerly feel to the air. right from the start we found it to be a
struggle, and for the first hour we had only one hit in an area
previously loaded with quality fish. Joe hooked into a 4+ fish easy, but
she threw the hook on a roll. we covered a lot of water, fishing
points, bays and flats up to 12 feet deep, throwing everything from
jerkbaits (the only thing that worked) jigs, spinner and chatterbaits,
and a new reaction strike trout swimbait DSouth inspired me to order. i
promptly snapped the first one off on a rod tangle, but fished it here
and there in top areas. no takers, but i plan to try it out a lot.
We
managed 12 keepers, 9 shorts and 8 pickerel. lost a bunch of
one-tap-and-gone fish. still, though the average was only about 1-1.5
pounds, we finally found the reason i took him to this place when joey
reared back on his PB lake bass, a 5lb 10oz CHUNK of a bass!
