We had a good bit of rain overnight Thursday in to Friday morning. Finally cleared out about 10 am and I began to think about wetting a line after work. After 2-3" of rain, I wasn't sure how the bite would be.
I pushed off from

With storms in the forecast for this afternoon, I loaded up yesterday after work for a short trip. Judging from the driveways washed out in to the road, this area got some serious downpours in the last few days. I pushed off just after 5 in

We've had a run of lousy weather here in CT over the last week or so. Lots of rain, strong storms, drizzle all day, etc. With more storms predicted for tomorrow, I loaded up the boat after my last delivery showed up at work and headed for the

Got a call last night from fellow board member WC870 asking me if I wanted to join him for a morning jaunt to water we both fish; of course I said yes. Here is what it looked like at 5:50 AM while waiting for him to back the boat around to

After a holiday weekend of dismal weather, I was ready for a trip to the pond to see what might be bitin'. I pushed off into a steady breeze from the south about 5pm, air temperature at 72. We ended up with about 3 1/2" of rain over the

With the weather looking poor for this Memorial Day weekend, I chose to hit the water on Thursday evening after work. Different water than my windy trip last week but similar conditions, if not even a bit worse. Wind was coming right down the

I took a chance and made a trip today before the rain showed up. Launched at 11 and pulled off in the rain at 1 pm. Air temperature was 41, water temp was 49. Rain wasn't supposed to come in until mid afternoon so that shortened my trip by

After finishing up my "have to do" list this morning, I headed off to try to hook a few fish on a chilly fall day. Clouds were clearing slowly, air temp was 47 when I pushed off the beach at 1pm with water temperature 57-58 degrees.

It was a simply spectacular day here in in CT, felt like mid June; 75 degrees, bluebird skies and very little wind. I had to top it off with a quick trip to see what might be biting. Launched about 4:45 and pulled off at 6:30. No wind to speak

I worked around the homestead here and kept an eye on the weather and especially the breeze. I hoped to have a chance to get out on the water after the chores were done but not if it was still windy. Seemed

Had an opportunity to get in another trip after work and launched about 4:45. Fairly strong breeze from the SSE but I expected that and expected also that it would lay down before too long and it did, thankfully. Air temperature was 68, water

Conditions seemed to be perfect for a good trip; upper 70's, pretty much calm winds, sun getting more and more hidden behind the haze from the fires out west, so I headed out from work an hour early to take advantage of it all. Launched about

Like Rich and Walt, weatherman here was calling for chance of showers, better chance for them in the afternoon so I rolled the dice and headed out, hoping to get a trip in before they arrived. I checked the radar before I left; we'd had a light
