Roxanne’s July Kayak Fishing Adventures, Connecticut
Thursday, July 30th, 2009-”I had few great days of fishing in between storms, here in Connecticut.
1:30pm I started my trip on the Farmington River coves in Simsbury.
Water levels are way up, I only had to walk down half of the path to the water, launched the W500 right on the hill, just slid down in and off I went.
I started off with a small white chuckit frog, landed 3 bass right off the bat.”
“Headed down towards the Main arm of the Farmington River, stopped at some trees, picked off a couple more with the small chuckit frog.”
“Then I heard an osprey, and it sounded like it was fighting, I look up, and out of the trees comes a Bald Eagle attacking the Osprey.”
“This Eagle meant business, and was looking to kill this Osprey.
I got a video of it:”
-”I figured after watching this, I didn’t care if another bass came to hand, but the bite turned on.
I started pitching into the holes in the weeds, yum dinger t-rigged weightless, letting my bait sink and shaking it, while waiting for that tap.
I pulled 3 Bass up and out this way, nice chunky bass.”
-”While paddling I came upon some Monster Grass carp.
Here is a video of the encounter:”
-”I had to leave for an appointment, so I was off the water at 5pm.
Life is Good!
Tight Lines all
