I saw a lot of boats on the CT River from Windsor to Enfield the last few days. Anybody from this site? Anybody still catching anything? I'm looking to get out this week and the river looks good right now. Just wondering if they are still there. Farmington River, too. Thanks for the help.
Hit the river in the Hartford area yesterday from six till noon. Didn't get anything, didn't see anything. Glad I brought a light set up with me. Did some bass fishing to end the day. 2 largemouth,2 smallmouth. Even though the water level came down considerably the water still looks pretty funky to me,lots of sediment,visibility not great.
Limited success last night fishing the shoreline from Niantic to Harkness. A schoolie and blues at the outflow, a barely keeper and schoolies between the sanitorium and Harkness. Got back to my night/safe spot from about 8:30-11:00 and had a few hits but no hook-ups. However, adult bunker schools the size of a football field were at the top of Niantic Bay. Wish I had a bait pen or access to one in Niantic. Snagged a few and let them limp around hoping to get a big bass, but no luck in 2 hours. Saw an occasional big tail swirl. I tried snagged bunker, big pre-rigged hogy eels, a large bunker swimbait, smaller lures, trolling through and around the schools and nothing. I guess the stripers that were there had so much bait to choose from that it was hard to get a hit.
