Roxanne’s Kayak Fishing Trip to Rainbow Reservoir, CT

Took my green monster out on Monday 31st, to Rainbow Res. in Windsor Connecticut.On the water at 9:30am off 5:30pm.

Water temps were 64 to 67 degrees, strong winds, but I had my anchor to hold me in place.  :)

Lures of choice, 1/4oz Jig with craw, dinger texas rigged weightless, drop shot, and a crank.

I wasted to much time on the crank, had a couple of slaps and follows,
but not takers.
Hot baits were the D/S and Jig, dinger got a few.

First half of the day was large mouth bass fest, water temps were 64 to 67 degrees.
All large mouth bass came out of 10 to 15 feet of water.
And each one slammed the lures, no taps, no ticks, just one big Bam!

Smallies were caught in 12 to 18 feet of moving waters, jig/craw,
D/S and a Dinger.

Total Bass for the Day:
25 LMB
15 SMB
And many pan fish in the mix.
LIFE IS GOOD!!!

    Outstandng day on the water Rox! With all those smallmouth available you have got to try those Redfish Magic up there. Nothing I’ve ever used catches them like those things. Besides you’ll be showing them a whole new boat they have never seen. The only problem we have had with them is the challenge was gone since they worked so well.
