got on the water at 8 30 am launched from dock rd.headed up river to the mohegan sun,fished around the rocks,the area was loaded with peanut bunker,we noticed some surface action by the rr trussel by the casino,ended up landing3 snapper blues 10 inches in length,so we headed down river to see if we could find anything bigger.we went down to ther sub base,to our suprise,no bait,nothing on the finder,we worked our way back to the launch,found some surface action.we threw everything.nothing,joe put on a snag hook,bunker 12 inches.so i put one on,we snag a couple,and ended up getting tangle with each other,nothing bad,but when i pulled up my bunker it was half gone.so we live lined a couple.i did get one hell of a hit took off the hole bunker,then nothing the rest of the day.
we talked to a few regulars there,and they said it was hit or miss.one day the river is loaded with stripers and blues the next day nothing

- Nice to get out & fish. Do you know any good spots to fish from shore. Not looking for any secret areas, just general info. I tried Norwich harbor a couple weeks ago- no luck.

you can fish at the moheagan sun ,down by the rr tracks,also off rt 12 south of the fish connection,there is a park on the right side(i cant remeber the name)you can walk up and down the rr tracks along the river.you can fish from the launch at dock rd,and the state launch under the gold star bridge
