Headed out to give the Thames River a try again today.I was out before all of the rain, and the water was just too cold topping out at only 40 degrees.Left the marina at a little before eleven and was happy to see that the water was 48 degrees, nice jump from last week.
The Ebb tide was helping the temperature and I knew it would continue to rise.I brought my little fishing buddy with me!
The fishing was slow at first, but as soon as the water hit 48.6 the fish turned on and started getting hits on most casts. Managed two smaller strippers before my own stomach convinced me to bring the boat in. The fish were caught on storm lures fished slow in about 10’ of water. I only spent a short time fishing, but the fish are there and it is my experience that this river will get better and better fishing over the next few weeks.I will be heading out again today and plan to spend a little more time fishing. I am even going to try the flyrod!
