Date Fished: 6/6/2005
Water Temperature: 70
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet

Fished Candlewood for the first time in 5 years Sunday Evening and Monday. Sunday was nuts with boat traffic but we still found 8 or 9 keepers in the weeds with the biggest going 4-11. Mostly largemouth on small worms but the big fish came on a pop-r.

Monday we had to lake to ourselves. Planned on fishing the weeds again but we found Smallies on BEDS!! 85 degrees air temp, 70+ degrees surface water, bright sunshine. Not just one or two Smallies, we caught over 40 up to 3 lbs. These fish were all no deeper than 4 feet. The West Wall area (along the road leading to Squantz) was loaded but we found spawning fish all over the lake. Yum tubes in Watermellon on 1/8 ounce jig heads did most of the damage. I just used my 6 lb test outfit and had a ball. Besides the 40 plus we boated we lost another 20 to jumps. The hits were just little pecks that felt like sunfish. Sometimes it would take 5 or more hits/recasts to get a hookup. Water clarity and a brezze prevented us from seeing most of the fish but if you saw a bed you usually got a hit. Fished from 6 am to 4 pm when some strong thunderstorms chased us back to NJ. Great time returning to one of my favorite lakes.
