CT River stripers
Message:
Just read the latest report on CT River stripers on OTW... Looking for some advice on how/where to fish the CT River for larger stripers. I just got my 15' whaler back in action and got the trailer registered. Never been, but have been hearing reports of good sized fish to be had.
Any advice on where to launch and what direction to head? Not looking for info on your honeyholes, just a general point in the right direction.

Stripers are everywhere in the river now from the mouth up to north of Hartford so just pick a launch and go either direction. If you are coming all the way from Bridgeport, the closest launch is probably Old Saybrook, right under the I-95 bridge. I am not going to tell you exactly where to go,..but if I was going there for the first time, I would spend a little time just cruising around and watching where the other boats are fishing! :wink:
Ps: there are rocky areas that can eat your prop in many places on the lower CTR...so make sure you pay attention to the channel markers to the North,..and if you go south (below the railroad bridge) towards the mouth,..be very cautious until you learn where those rocks are! Probably getting a good chart would be a wise investment.

Thanks!
Weather permitting, it looks like I'll be heading up Saturday to fish the am bite. Appreciate the heads up on the rocks.
Hopefully I'll have a good report/pictures after.
