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!
