Did not run into any super schools of stripers yesterday so no fast and furious action. Did manage catch several lone wolves including this 5 pounder. Caught on ...more exo-swim swimbait. Housatoic River, Derby CT

What a day, I’m not exaggerating when I say I must caught 100 stripers today. They were all schoolies at 3-5 lbs, but they fight like smallmouth on steroids. And ...more they just choke the lure, they don’t get cheated. It was my first time fishing for them and I just posted up over their school in my canoe. When they moved, I would paddle around a bit until I found them again. I have to say the BioSpawn Exo-swim swimbait is my new favorite lure. Yesterday regular bass and today stripers, Just deadly. Caught on the Housatonic River next O’neil Park in Derby CT.

Awesome day- swim baits will catch everything: trout, bass, pike, carp.....

First Striped bass! Caught on an exo-swim with a VCM swim jig head. Caught on the Housatonic River next to O’neil Park in Derby CT.

Found a place just loaded with bass today called Toby’s Pond in Beacon Falls CT. They were all little but wore them out on an exo-swimmer. Fun especially for late ...more fall and fishing from shore.

Nice!🎣👊

I was fishing for stripers when I hooked into this thing with a ghost minnow. Put up a decent fight.To be honest I don’t know what it is. I do not fish for salt ...more water species very often although this water was a mix of salt water and fresh on a river. Comment if you know what it is?
-
no teeth😂paper thin mouths like a crappie
-
does that thing have teeth? are you sure that is a shad with those teeth (or maybe just the full plates idk) that thing is from my nightmares

Matt. dang phone

Thanks Captain, when I think of Shad I think of fresh water bait fish, cool to catch a new species anyway.

One of several smallmouth caught in just a quick half hour of fishing on the Farmington River today from the bank. Killed me to have leave, lol. Caught on a Crappie ...more Maxx Squirmin Shad in Blue Pearl color matched with small minnow head in white. Been a killer rig for river smallmouth lately.
-
Another one of the better smallmouth, river was loaded with them. Every catch had two or three followers. Caught on Naugatauck River in Seymour CT. This one caught ...more with the Gizzet Little Tough Guy Jig Head paired with Cabela’s Go-To Hoochie Koochie Minnow, both in white. I urge you try this set-up if you are going for smallmouth, Trout, or any panfish. Gizzet jig head pairs well with any small minnow. No I am not a paid spokesperson, lol.

Matt, The Everglades Oscars are pretty awesome too. its like catching 100+ turbo charged smallmouth in 6-7 hours. You already know about the Big LMB😂
-
Robert, if that is the case, I will have add another day with Captain Morris for Oscars! But still gotta get in the best bass fishing of my life when I’m down there.
-
Nice Work Matt👍🏻👍🏻
-
Awesome day Matt! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Hard to beat the Smallie fight! Always thought they were the best fight, pound for pound, then I went fishing for Oscars with ...more Morris! Those fish can FIGHT!!!!!!

8.4 lb Largemouth caught in Florida. One of about 30 plus I caught with Captain Morris Campbell. They were caught with live wild shiners on a bait casting rod and ...more reel. This was a new technique for and captain Morris was very patient as I literally could have caught 50 plus with all the ones I missed. Bottom line, Captain Morris Campbell is the best guide you can find. His expertise is second to none. If he said “your gonna catch one” you did. Thank you captain Morris and son for the best day of fishing of my life.
-
thank you for the kind words Matt. I was an honor spending the day on the lake with you👍👍👍
-
Sounds like an amazing day, (and a typical day with Morris) 😁!!!!! I will second that Matt, he is the best! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Fishing with Shiners isn't as ...more easy as it sounds, is it?????😉 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-

About
I am a Veteran and PE/Health Teacher. In addition to my regular duties, I teach kids fishing and pond exploration at the private special education ...more school in which I work using all my own equipment. I recently started a YouTube channel called Canoe Fishing Connecticut where I fish only Canoe, Kayak, or Trolling motor accessible waters in and around CT. In each 20-25 minute episode I will tell you what I use, how I use it, and of course where I am fishing. This is really just a fun way to get out with my boys as they like YouTube and tech more than actual fishing. They will be filming. So as they ask me to say "Please subscribe, like, and share" when you visit Canoe Fishing Connecticut. Thank you and god bless
