Another cold and windy day in Connecticut, but I needed to get some practice in for an upcoming kayak fishing tournament, so I headed out on Candlewood Lake to see what I could scrounge up.

Luckily, I was able to get a few spots figured out and the smallies were biting where I thought they might be hiding, so I may have a chance to make an impact in tomorrow's big tournament.

Today's bait of choice for the smallmouth bass was a size 3 Mepps Bronze Slammer running at medium retrieve about two feet below the surface. Thanks for watching!
