Looking for help: New to CT river & boat
Message:
Hey everyone, I'm new to the CT river and just bought a pontoon boat which I keep in Portland. I have traditionally been a river fisherman for trout. Do you have any recommendations on where to go on the CT river near my marina to find fish, and what kind of bait & tackle to use this time of year?
I also have a new fisherwoman who is getting frustrated with the sport because we have gone out fishing about 10 times and she hasn't caught anything at all.

Congrats on the new boat.
You need to put that fisherwoman on some fish! The Portland area can be tough. Pecausett Pond (aka Wright's Cove) or the area around and in the mouth of the Mattabesset River are fairly reliable locations to find some fish. How big is the boat, anyway? Show her how to drop shot a Roboworm or 2-1/2 to three inch Gulp! Minnow, or wacky rig a five inch Senko, and she'll start catching fish.

Thanks for the info. I have always been weary of going near the Matabassett River mouth because it gets real shallow really quick on that side of the island.
The boat is a 21' Bennington kept at Portland Riverside Marina. I'm between the Malibu ski boat and another pontoon.
