Where to find Blue Crab on the CT River (Near Hartford)
Message:
Hello! I was fishing yesterday in Glastonbury on the CT River and someone was telling me he was catching blue crabs by the DEP. Can anyone point me as to where this location is? I've been scouring through posts and google and I see a bunch on the "DEP Docks" or "DEP Pier" but have no clue where it is! Also am wondering where there may be good spots to catch some crabs near the Hartford area? Just getting into fishing and whatnot and trying to figure out where to go and what to do!

ur not going to catch crabs near the hartford area, the wont hit freshwater, if theres not alot of rain they'll make it up the river a little bit but not near hartford. DEP docks - take route 9 south, to 95 North, take exit 70 - Old lyme exit, Take a right off the exit, take your 2nd right onto i believe its Ferry Rd. it will say DEP Marine head quarters. Follow that road to the end, theres a small parking lot, follow the board walk. Crab right under the bridge where the rock ledge is. Thats an okay spot you'll get 4-6 blue crabs in an hour - hour and a half, if u wanna find better spots, go to old say brook or west brook and spend ALOT of time looking for them, once u find a sweet spot, they'll be there every year :)

You are correct CTHonkie. It is Ferry road. :lol: Kibles.. Make sure you have a crab net at least 6 feet long for the DEP dock.
