I was a bit apprehensive when Jim called to go to a new lake. Mainly because the forecast temps for today were into the 90's. But Jim told me he had just installed a new Bimini top on his boat, so I agreed to give it a whirl. We launched a

Walt could only fish for a few hours today, so we hit the Oxbow area of the Ct. River system, in the small tin boat. Weather was gorgeous! We launched around 8:30 am. Air started out a tad brisk at around 55 degrees. Water temp

What a great day to be fishing! Since the Oxbow & Ct. River are totally flooded, Walt & I decided to hit a local pond. We've finally got a break in the rain/cold weather, so we needed to take advantage of it.
Been awhile for us reporting - and wetting a line! The persistent rain & cold have preventing us from doing just that. However, after receiving almost 4" of rain yesterday (this is getting ridiculours!), the sun finally made an appearance

Well, it was not only predicted to be the best day of the week (warmest anyway), but today was my 45 wedding anniversary to boot! Can't imagine how Jan has put up with me for all these years? You know how I remember this date so well? Oct.

After two days of solid rain and thunderstorms, we finally got a break! So, Walt & I launched around 8:30 am this morning with the air at a brisk 56 degrees. The water registered at 62 degrees. Winds were about 5 - 10 mph to start off.....tapering

Today was the best day weather-wise in awhile, so Walt & I took advantage of it. Launched at 8:00 am - the days are getting shorter and we do not drive in the dark anymore! The air was a nice 61 degrees for a change, with the water

It's been a couple of weeks since Walt & I tackled the crappie. The weather today was suppose to be just fine, so we launched around 7:30 am this morning with the air at 56 degrees and the water at an even 70. This is what we we were looking

The grandkids paid "Pepe" a visit this weekend. My daughter and her son came up from Maryland, so it was a very special time for us. And, of course, demanded that they go fishing with a "pro" fisherman! LOL! (They've been

Sorry for not having posted in so long. Weather here has been the main factor. Hazy, hot, VERY humid and rainy weather has been the norm for the past couple of weeks here in the northeast. Today was suppose to be a much better day - according

Walt & I launched around 7:30 am this morning, with high expectation for dealing with an upcoming front starting tomorrow. And I was elated while going to Walt's home - seeing 2 deer and flock of turkey! Figured this was going to be "it"

The heat wave finally broke for us yesterday! After 7 days of 90 - 100 degree days and 70+ degree nights, we finally got a break. Some severe thunderstorms broke it yesterday, with last night's temp bottoming out in the upper 40's! Incredible
...
Today was the start of the projected "heat wave", which suppose to last for the next 7 days! This is quite unusual for we "yankees" up here, but I know you fine southern folks know how to deal with it. We do not! However,

It's been 10 days since our last outing. Life is getting complicated! Oh well.....we started fishing around 7:40 am this morning, with the air a cool 50 degrees with a light breeze out of the northeast. The water is still only 70 degrees! Way

The weather folks have predictably mis-forecasted the weather for the past couple of weeks. No foolin'? Last night a big cold front came through, which made fishing today speculative at best. However, it's been way too long for Walt & I
