Have been fishing for 20 of the 23 years of my life. I fish for everything, mostly freshwater but saltwater also. I’m joining this sub because I feel like there’s so much to learn about Connecticut fishing. I recently have become OBSESSED with walleye after catching my first at the saugatuck. Haven’t had one since and his was 3 weeks ago. Hoping to talk to some people about trout and walleye mostly. Something about those walleye man. Tight lines!

Welcome aboard, although I’m really the only one here.

I bought a Trout Stamp, this year, but don’t really fish for them.

I DO enjoy fishing for walleye, although it’s been a while since I’ve targeted them. In fact, the last one I caught was a surprise during a daylight bass tourney at Lake Zoar, last year. The little stockie hit a drop shot 2-1/2 inch Gulp! Minnow on the bottom in about 25 feet of water. When I DID target walleye, I mostly trolled Rapala JSR-7s in Perch patterns in my kayak at Batterson Park Pond. One year, I boated a couple of dozen, although only one or two were keepers.

Since you were fishing from shore at Saugatuck, were you throwing live bait?

Wow, I haven't been on here in a really long time. Doesn't seem like many people have been on here either...
