Epic Ct River Striper Fishing

Postby BassNut2 » Fri May 25, 2012 8:05 pm

Today, was EPIC.

I took the 1.2hp game fisher since I knew I could count on it running well, I haven't had time to really test the 2hp.

My first slam came at 12:25, but the fish came unbuttoned.

I was drifting and casting my top water lure and working it slowly back to the W500, when BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fish on, and it’s a big one....................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Off goes the drag, and the sleigh ride began.

It was an awesome Battle, she circled me twice, and shot up river, still towing me...............ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I start to tire her, and get her yak side, went to grip the lip with my boga, and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
she wasn’t ready.
One more time around the yak, she is tired, I get her yak side one , reach with the bogas...................and SHE IS MINE!!!!!

You could here me hooting for miles I’m sure.

29” Fat and Healthy, 14 1/2 lbs of fighting fury.

Many more Battles happened after that.

Today was one of the Best Fishing Days of my LIFE!!

I landed 3 keepers, and 9 smaller Stripers.

I had some awesome blow ups, and Lost 4 Bigger Stripers, but

That’s okay, that’s why its called fishing.

The W500 Rules the water.

Enjoy the Porn, you'll have to excuse my pictures the camra
got splashed, and I was just friggin crazy with excitement.

I used my 1.2hp outboard to run up river, no way I can paddle up without it.
Then I would use my paddling skills for the drift back. :D

Thanks Guys, I was on the Ct River in Windsor Ct.
This is my first year to try the river out of my wave walk yak.
I was a big Chicken for nothing, plus my Buddy was out watching over me in his G3 bass boat.
