Candlewood Lake

[JAMMER]

It was like the ocean out there with the wind but worth it. I know its getting hit hard with all the tourneys but its still action packed. The plan was to troll lead-core for trout most of the time except we never got the rods out of the locker. Bass fished three hours and got 29 into the boat between the two of us plus a number of red-eyes also.Most fish in the 2lb range with my biggest large mouth 5lbs and smallie 3lbs. Nice little after work venture with no boat traffic.

Went out today with buddys 15 yr old on a paddle boat. Caught a couple+ bass and alot of rock bass. Lost some smallies at the "boat" ( used to standing i think ). We had a blast.

nice.  keep that batting average over 400

Spent a couple hours throwing plastic on Danbury end that landed four smallies, one lmb, and a few rock bass. Marked alot of fish on humps, drop shot one trout and zero trolling. Nice night to be on the water.

Spent the later part of the day by the "ice box" area fishing wacky worms. Small mouth color of choice was purple. Good fishing.

6/20 3-7pm hot & sunny, lots of college partiers and skiers out on a Monday.    probably the worst time to fish but I had a buddy from Westchester visiting.   us and the Cobia CC hit Bogus Point, Pine Island South, Candlewood Echoes and the New Fairfield islands using swim baits.  fishing off weedlines in 8-25 FOW

tough pickin buddy landed 3 3# LMB so he went home reasonably happy. I like my passengers to be happy.

yours truly got only a dink SMB after losing 2 monsters, one of which nearly jumped in the boat est. 5# ..... the second was hooked in 25 FOW off Pine Island South, we never saw.... a real strong  bulldog staying down pulling drag on my ultralite 4# rig for a couple of minutes, then made a big surge and tore loose of the hook.  That would be a frickin Gamigatzu jap-ass hook

   thats why they call it fishing

Good deal, glad you put your guided pals on fish. Ive been playin at Jasons private pond in the eves but be on cwood sat. Wide gap 3/o hooks = pliers

[JAMMER]

Night bite was slow with one nice rainbow,perch and a smb. Lots of boat traffic with the long weekend and an evening bass tourney but good time.   HAPPY 4TH

[JAMMER]

Lots of good size bass caught in a couple hours. Started out deep i put my pole down to bring a fish in with live bait and something blasted the keitech and rods gone. Did the best throwing worms in eight ft. or less of water at shoreline weed openings. I ended up with 11 with 4# biggest. Boat traffic still stupid out even on weekday eve in rain. Not happy about rod.

I think every bass in cwood has a hook mark in them. Went out with "dog" to try out a boat and got on some big ones on sat.

[bass on]

Jammer I was also out Saturday...only managed 3 and every one was hooked before also...

[JAMMER]

Went to a private pond in morning and got spoiled and hit candlewood from 5-8 in eve. Ended up with 3 smb at cwood (one over 3#).The 2nd bass i caught had a 3/0 wide gap hook and 2 ft. of line stuck in him from a previous snap off. Lots of boats to deal with but great weather and alot of water time.

i hit up candlewood today and the boat traffic was crazy!! it was my first time going to cwood being as its a 2 hour ride from RI but it was worth it.  we ended up with 17 largemouth all keepers in the 2lb range, biggest was 3.5#; and 3 smallmouth bass, biggest was 4+ lbs with another one around 2. overall i was really happy with this being the first time
