CT River Shore Area
Message:
Been fishing around 5 times from different areas up and down the river bank in the Upper Suffield CT/ Windsor Locks Ct area. Tried everything from crawlers to senkos, to jitterbugs. Usually this area will get yah at least a bass every time down, just a little early in the season? Also, is it too early for topwater?

My favorite saying about topwater fishing is:

Regarding the Connecticut River, river herring (i.e., blueback herring and alewives) are running, as well as American and hickory shad. Remember, there's a statewide emergency closure on the river herring fishery. If you catch one, release it immediately. If you're not sure what the fish you caught is and you intend to keep it, pull out an Angler's Guide or ask someone. If the fish is small (e.g., less than 12 inches long and skinny) and/or has no spot or only one behind the gill plate, it's probably a river herring.
A big part of fishing success or failure on the river is timing. You might have caught the wrong tide or wrong barometric pressure. Keep trying; you'll get them.

Top water is staring early this year. Fished Candy today and started with a bone spook. Had three blow ups but no hook ups. Didn't last long but it's starting.
