I am from ct. but fish mostly in mass. because there fish program I feel is better than ct. & they do a very good job. Also the fish are bigger, they tell at the end of the week where they have stocked that week on there website, the fishing licence for out of staters hasn't gone up in years & the meat is pink inside & not white. Ct has come a long way from everything being under 12" to now over, but they have a way to go.
