Just picked up fishing about a month ago. Fished Crescent Lake in Southington and the Mianus River so far. Crappies in Crescent Lake. Got what I think was a small striped bass and a crappie in the river.
About me - Young college grad just looking for something to pass the time. My cousin and her husband brought me fishing a few weeks ago. Picked up a pole and decided to make it a new hobby. |

My guess was the striped bass was about a pound and a half. It was in a little inlet just off the minaus river. When the tide came in fish got caught in the inlet and started biting like crazy.
Only reason I fished out there was because my cousin and her husband live out that way. I'm assuming my 3 fishing areas are going to be stamford/norwalk area (where they live), new haven area (where i live), and central ct (where my parents live) |
