Thumbs up The Rose of New England

Thanks for the invite GS!!! Imagine, fishing on the 6th of December for Stripers in a T-SHIRT!!! Yep, that's what it was fishing in Norwich, CT - "The Rose of New England" (that's what they call it)...

After I hit the fish connection to grab a non-resident license (yep, the "L" word) I met GS down at the ramp and he already had 10 bass to his credit and then we were off up and down the Thames chasing little stripers...

GS had well over 50 and probably somewhere over 60 bass up to about 6-7 pounds or so and I got over 20, maybe 25 (maybe not) in a light tackle blast in December.

Now the boat did make the difference (as well has SKILZ at chasing fish) but I think you can be succesfull from the shore there too, just a bit harder to do.

But I had a blast just relaxing (for the most part) and catching fish...

Here's GS's S-Fish, put up quite a struggle...
