Thames Winter Stripers

Anyone have any suggestions as to where i can try fishing for striper schoolies on the Thames this winter? I read about the Howard T Brown park in Norwich... is this a worthwhile spot in winter? Any help would be appreciated!

Yes you're on the right track, the norwich harbor is as good a place as any to fish. Just don't know if you're boating or shore angling. From a boat its easy to locate the schools of bass, however; tightly packed schools usually means poor fishing. Try drifting small 4-6" plastics, i.e. fin-s fish among the schools. Some of the bigger fish, and I mean keeper size, always seem to come on a big ol' chunk of bunker fished right under the dock. Kinda like "set it and forget it" :wink: Good luck if you go down there and let us know how you do.

Thanks for the tips! No boat here, at least not yet. Well, I have a kayak and a little Jon boat, not sure I’d want to be rowing/paddling around the harbor in freezing temps though! Will definitely be fishing from shore this winter if I go. Do you recommend fishing the plastics on a jig head or un-weighted? If on a jig head, how heavy? I’m assuming they normally hold close to the bottom?
