Night fishing on the Ct river
Message:
I plan on doing some night fishing for stripers on the river soon ,putting the boat in in enfield area. I have never fished the river after dusk before, any areas I needs to be cautious about?
Also is the river high after all the rain?

I fish solo at night all the time. Wife HATES it. Consult charts to familiarize yourself with the area you plan to fish, but realize that everything looks very different at night. Run everything slower! Even on a clear night it's easy to miss objects in the water, etc.
Wear a vest. I switch from my inflatable to a full Mustang commercial vest.

I carry a floating VHF radio and a xenon strobe attached to the shoulder, and a whistle and chem sticks as well. There's a good chance of losing contact with your boat if you go overboard in a current or your engine is engaged.
Rain didn't put a dent in the river. It's actually low. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=box&gage=hfdc3
Night time is the right time for CT River stripers! Good luck!
