The CT River has been pretty hot the last two weeks, though bigger fish are definitely beginning to move out onto the reefs. I had the chance to get a few friends out to do a lot of catching. Wrote up a report here, as far as what was working, tides, etc. I'll be posting up reports from the LIS starting next week.
What and When:
Early a.m., with an incoming tide.
Top Water. White Sluggos, Zoom Super Flukes, Yum Houdini Shad, etc. 2500-4500 class Penn spinning reels. 30lb. Suffix 832 & 16lb. Hi-Seas Black Widow. Depth 8-12ft. transitioning to flats. Change it up 'til you find what works.
Mid-Morning to Mid-Afternoon
Find the bunker, find the fish. Open expanses, below tributaries, seams below islands, etc. Drifting live bunker, make sure to clip fins. Fishfinder rigs with BIG chunks of fresh, bloody bunker. Change your baits often. 20-30lb. Momoi Diamond Hi-Vis Yellow line for multiple spreads. This makes it easy to walk fish through a spread without always bringing all the lines in.
For the full report visit my blog or find me on Facebook.
