CT River - 4/22 Keeper
Message:
Jeff and I headed to Barn Island early this morning before the rains and found a nice school of bunker - we managed to snag 6. We tried fishing around fishers island for some stripers but the water temp was a bit too cold at 48 degrees.
Next we towed to the Baldwin Bridge ramp and fish around Great Island. Not too much activity there, so we headed up to Hamburg Cove. We managed to catch several large catfish on the bunker chunk :shock: - for some reason, stripers were not interested in the bait. I caught a nice 34 incher on a home made lure I call the Striper Glider which is a large 6 inch lure that weighs 3 oz and walks the dog underwater effortlessly. Notice the nice paint job on my lure - my daughter Jessica did it using a sharpie!

The rain picked up so we called it quits around 2pm. A slow day, but still we got a keeper!
Check out the boat launch at Barn Island...don't know why we were the only boat in the parking lot! Maybe we'll try Barn again in a few weeks.
