Connecticut fishing reports

[albiealert]

Started my season last nite. Went to a local river on the incoming tide. Picked up 2 little guys on a white rubber shad. Not much but its a start.

Hey hope all the guys here have been catching some fish. Have been getting out pretty steadily once a week or every 10 nights. May was pretty good. Managed one bass per trip with schoolbus bomber or using sp minnows. I had 2 skunked trips in June. First week got one nice 29" striper, and the last 2 weeks just a few bluefish. I don't fish as much as some of the rest of you but will keep fishing even if its only blues. At least it is a tug on the end of the line. We have had good fishing weather lately. Lots of overcast nights and not that many bugs. Tight lines everyone!

Tight lines everyone!

Nice report, and some action out that way. Been hearing that the fishing up there has been spotty at best. In some areas the action has been abismal.

Well after that my results have been abysmal. Been out the last 3 weeks and nothing. Took a week off for the holiday and may try again this weekend.

Things have finally started to look up again. Been out twice in the last week. First trip nothing. Last night I pulled 2 short stripers on the bone SP minnow. Hoping for more. Usually I do ok from the first week of october onward. Will keep you guys posted. Tight lines everyone.

All right folks there have been some fish around. Been out 6 times in the last 2 weeks. There is a lot of bait around. Managed some stripers on half of the trips. SPs and mag darters. Some of the boat guys have been killing it by jigging shads and bass assassins. The fish move and sometimes are just too far up or down from me. My best night so far got 12 up to 27". Nice fun on light tackle.

Sorry I haven't been able to report in awhile. Business trips and family keeping me busy. The striper action has been good for me in my local river. March was slow for me but the guys on the boats and kayaks did well. April was much better. Tried a few favorite places. Got stripers up to 32" released. Most were in the 20-25" range though. My best nights were around the full and new moons. After a relatively sunny day when the water was heated up I usually did ok. Bone SPs and schoolbus bombers have done the best where I was. Lots of herring in the water this year. Tight lines everyone!
