NEWBURGH, NY – My wife and I decided to wet a line together today, something we had not done in a very long time. We launched about 10AM to what would be a tough bite mostly because of the windy conditions we experienced. The wind made it tough to fish plastics as the boat would not remain still for longer than two casts before we were against a shoreline again. We fished rattle traps, power worms on heavy weight, spinnerbaits and other cranks. I managed one fish on a rattle trap early in the day and thought we’d have a great day.
My wife found the second fish of the day on a power worm as we continued to work in finding our fish today.
We ended the day about 2PM with what we thought was going to be only two fish so we decided to fish near the boat launch area in the weeds. We were both rewarded with two more bass on spinnerbaits before we ended the day with a total of 4 fish.
Chadwick is normally a really great lake but despite the heavy winds we managed a decent day at 1 fish per hour. Hopefully my wife and I can team up again soon and try another lake.
