Candlewood Lake - Danbury, CT Fishing Report
9/25/13-9/27/13 - Prefishing Candlewood
Decided to do 3 days of practice before the MA BASS Nation Fish-Offs, because I had never been here, and my buddy Had not been here in many years. Conditions could have been worse, lol. Water temps had dropped 10+ degrees in the last week and a half (64-67 all 5 days), Water levels dropping, very muddy, lots of pollen, and right smack in the middle of the fall transition. The bite was extremely tough. Typical Smallmouth baits just were not working. Marking fish everywhere, but few would bite.We each got a few fish each day, but random bites more than anything. My buddy hooked into a 5-1/2lb Largemouth on a spinner bait Wednesday at about 6:30pm his best of practice. My best of the 3 days was a 2-1/2lb Smallie first thing on Wednesday on a c-rig...only c-rig fish all week. Spinner Bait would get some fish each day. My thinking was the Tournament was gonna be a grind. Random catch of practice was My buddy got a Horn Pout on a 3/4oz football head with a 4" swimbait. It most of yawned and the bait landed in its mouth, lol.
