The hunt for big bass continues…slowly. I’ll make this brief. I fished last night with Toby Lapinski for about two hours at mark in southeast CT. Toby was on spin gear, I had the big two-hander. Not a touch for me, and Toby managed a single hello tap from a smaller fish. And that’s about all I have to say about that, other than this: the more you put in your time, and the more you learn the particulars of a potential big bass spot, the more big bass you’re going to catch. Looking forward to round three.
The water was a little milky due to surf/sand/wind, but plenty of visibility; certainly enough to see a fly like this. Mmmmmm. Squidcicle.

Consider Rhody. What kind of 2 hand rod do you use?

Good health is true wealth
Hi Rich, I’m not that interested in numbers; rather, I’m specifically trying to learn a new potential big bass mark, and the only way to do that is to keep showing up.
My two-hander is a custom build, made by my friend Mike Oliver in England. Mike calls it the “Out Front,” and it’s designed for a 550 grain head. The rod is 12′ 9″ and I’ve been very happy with it so far.
The Squidcicle has to be tied on an ice cream stick!
You tried…next time you’ll get ’em!

That put a smile on my face, Frank, thank you.
