new guy near the CT river

Hey everyone! I've been kinda lurking around the site since last August when I got back into fishing, after being out of it since childhood. I live in the greater Hartford area near the CT river, and was wondering what's good in the area?

I spent the end of last summer and part of the fall hitting this or that pond or lake, mostly east of the river, looking for bass. Need suggestions! And nice to meet you officially!

Welcome to the site Grey.
Just got back into fishing myself just a few years ago.
Check out the trips section. You can get some good info there.

welcome aboard!Did you play in the band?If yes, remember seeing you guys at the Webster!Plenty of good spots for bassin....Upper Moodus,Hayward,Amos,Coventry,etc. Ever fish Batterson?

Yes to the band, that was me! Working on a cover band project now, called Feed the Animals (shameless plug), sorry I know this isn't the place for that...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking to try to him some new places this season.

thats kool!figured with that screenname you had some connection!
Also,lotsa people do well on smallies north of hartford in the river...
I think even from shore above rt 140 bridge there is shoreline access.

Hi,
Best Bass fishing East of the river would be at lower Bolton Like off route 44.

Sounds good, I'll be looking into that too!

Been really busy lately with work, which is why I haven't been on much, but I'm hoping to hit the CT again soon, before the stripers go away.
