Winter striped bass fishing in connecticut

In the town of norwich the thames river holds a lot of schoolie stripers + the bite has been real good with a few keepers mixed in good winter recreation fished from shore + boat last 4 days averaged 100 + fish a day

 

Hey neighbor! I've taken a few schoolies off the dock right downtown where the old minigolf place burned down. They stack up in there all winter. What town do you live in?

 

Im in columbia ct--25 miles west of norwich

 

I'm in Voluntown, about 15 miles east of Norwich. Work in Gales Ferry.

 

You must work at dow chemical

 

Correct. I just got home from the overnight shift and read in the paper that a boat capsized in the harbor yesterday and 2 guys got rescued. They were lucky someone else was out there. Water must be awful cold.

 

2 bad about the boat capsising--- at dow off the dock at the end near the power lines sometimes holds bass i cought them their b-4 IN A BOAT

 

I havent fished there in years. I jet ski'd there this past summer. 10 mins from the Gold Star to Norwich harbor. Just hold the throttle back, hunker down and fly. Sure beats driving.
