Any Reports from the Mouth of the CT River

I wanted to see the status of the mouth of the CT River; Any stripers, any bait, anyone be fishing there?

Yes, some fish are around and not much for bait. It's still slow on bigger fish but I got a few. Also snagged some gizzard shad from what I thought was bunker on my fishfinder

How was the river? Planning on sneaking out tomorrow. Just curious if we got a lot of trees and such to watch out for.

River is not to bad...

Thank you Conrad. Will be sneaking out tomorrow last few touches on boat then try for some fluke.

Fishing has been slower for me compared to the few years past, but there are some fish around.

I went out last night, lost one good fish and their is a much higher concentration of bait around. It's definitely still much slower than years past

Water temp is back to 61

Went today only one schoolie saw few jumps would assume bunker heard blues are starting to show

Nice to see bait around there this weekend. Finally.

Amazing how little has changed in 3 weeks.

I hadn't heard much in the way of good reports, but I was anxious to get the new boat salty, so I headed to the lower river yesterday. Still not much going on there. Incoming tide clears the water south of 95, but chills it, too. Then a few hours into the outgoing tide, it's brown again. Water temp on the flats yesterday started at 59~60 -- two hours into the incoming -- and was 63 when I left about 3pm. White lure visibility was almost 3 feet early in the AM. About a foot and a half at most, mid-afternoon.

Caught 3 keepers (a 28 and two 34s) on the incoming. Best I could do on the outgoing was a lone,'close but no cigar'. Bunch of schoolies in between. Decent schools of bunker out in the channel, but not nearly as many as usual.

Most of my fish came on a small (<4") walking plug.

Quinnipac River...same thing. Very brown. More than I remember. Like coffee with no cream ???

Thanks guys for the reports.

been pretty dead for me. This season sucks!

Been slow for me as well. Livelining bunker on the flats isn't doing much. Bluefish bite them in half or the stripers just play with them and follow the bunker around without committing. Only landed two fish around 34" for a few days of fishing.

Did pretty good last sunday afternoon, seeing i was the only one out there conditions were perfect. Cloudy with rain storm on the way, last of outgoing tide. Got into a nice bunch of stripers and big blues all on top 7" plastics

Fished Wednesday after work, lots of schoolies and a few keeper bass all on top. Seemed like it was back to "normal" down there.
