CT River Stripes

Just got back from the first successful trip of the season. Started fishing round 7 and a buddy and I were throwing large spooks and shallow swimmers. Right before dark my friend hooked to a pretty decent pickeral on a jointed bomber. The next hour or so as it got dark didn't produce any fish or strikes so we moved around a lil bit to try a new area... Right about when it got completely dark is when I hooked up to my first fish of the year (couldn't make any winter trips) and she came out to 31" 12lbs. I was fishing a small area south of Hartford on the river and the fish was caught on a 10" black tandem rigged hogy reeled nice and slow without giving it any movement. This is just the beginning... there was some bait around but not many, my friend foul hooked an alewife even though they weren't mating and rolling around on top. I know other rivers were producing all winter but the CT is just getting started. Could of been a fresh fish or a holdover... not able to say just what. I got a pic but forgot how to post. I think most of the people on here knows what a 31" striper looks like anyways... lol.
