anyone having luck with striper lately?
Message:
Hey Guys! This is my first post on CTFT, I'm Jay.. Was wondering if anyone was having any luck fishing for the striped ones on the CT riv lately. (Between htfd and spfld) I was doing awesome with about 20 schoolies and some NICE smallies landed between the beginning of April and mid April. Then things SORT of slowed down quantity wise, but not size wise. Then from late April up until about 2 weeks ago when the levels and flow went through the roof because of all this rain I landed 3 keepers, (29.5-34") all within a mile stretch and in a 2 week period, with some schoolies mixed in. I fish from shore so the water levels have put a hinderence on getting to my good spots. Was just wondering if anyone has been catching? I just aquired my first boat and I am trying as fast as I can to get it up and running so I can catch em before they're gone. Any info would b appreciated. As for what I was catching on- Jumbo live shiners, white slug-go's, and x-raps. On a side note my striper fever should be cured after this weekend because I'm heading to Belmar, NJ on a private charter (fingers are crossed for cows!) Wait did I say cured, that will never happen! Looking forward to any input, and thanks in advance! Tight lines to all... :wink:

A friend of a friend just relayed the message that there have been 30-50lb bass caught in the Enfield area, come on 50lb :roll:? I'm sort of calling BS on anything over 35lb being up this far in the river. But I could totally be wrong. The biggest bass I have proof of was 32lb and caught around Middletown early this month. What do you guys think? Any proof on anything over 35lb being taken this year? One thing I also forgot to add in my previous post was LiveTarget blueback herring swimbaits and Sebile Magic Swimmers are also a very very HOT lure for this time! Just trying to help other anglers, and be helped by fellow anglers! Tight Lines!
