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.

it happened again... CT Pikin
After yesterdays great trip on the river we decided to give it another go.The weather was even better for pike fishing than the day before so Garrett and I went out ready to set some hooks. Our first spot held zero active fish but the second one yielded 3 pike over 30 inches within 10 minutes. Bam Garrett gets a 30.75... Bam i get a 31.5 ... Bam Garett gets a 32. Then it died and we moved on. Our next stop produced a 26 incher on a buzz bait for me which was pretty epic on 8 lb test and a small rod while going for a few bass. Then we got two more in the next hour working a large weed bed. One being 27 inches and the other a baby probably 10-12 inches. The action was farther spread out today and the fish were smaller than yesterday but by the time we left we had 7 pike. Back to back days with 7 or more pike is something ive never done so i was pretty excited about it. Also the first time ive targeted pike and didn't catch a single bass for the boat all day. Water temps are still 77 degrees and the boat traffic was terrible to the point we ended the day a little early. So the 2 day total is 15 pike with 7 over 30 inches and all released healthy.
