shetucket river Fishing Report

Shore Fishing The Shetucket River

I made three stops today, and got a buch of hits from small mouth bass. I also had a fish that i hooked into and never saw but it felt like a two or three pounder that i turned up stream, and then he hung me up and broke off. I may have been able to land it had i had more paitentce or dedicated enough to get totaly wet. I did get some wet but i would have had to go all in and float past where he hung me up and then pull him down stream and i was not that dedicated. I lost three lures today, a new personal worst, but i also had some good fun. I think i spoted a huge striper from the railroad crossing the river, looked at least three feet.
