Thames River
Herring have been in the Thames River for a couple of weeks now, with many stripers in the 30-inch range in and around Norwich Harbor, and in the waters up to the Greenville Pool on the Shetucket River.
Anglers have caught these big stripers in the river using chunk baits or large swimming plugs that mimic the 10- or 12-inch-long herring they are chasing.
Likewise, the stripers that overwinter in the coves of the Connecticut River also are becoming more active. Because of the extremely mild winter, odds are there already are some stripers migrating northward along the coast from their breeding grounds in Chesapeake Bay and the Hudson River
