For years I'd break ice all winter to fish the Thames or even locally for holdovers after the season was done, so I really didn't have a down season. Since the decline of the striper schoolie stock, those days are now behind me, dropped the boat off to get winterized yesterday. Time for fall and winter golf, will shrink wrap the boat in a week or two after I get it back from my mechanic.
Anyone fish the Thames last year, is that fishery still viable in the winter, boy back in the day 50 fish was a slow day and my largest was a 42 lber on 10 lb flurocarbon
