I'm definately headed to the Thames at some point, but with my weekend trip to the keys and Xmas coming, I don't see me getting down there until January. Based on what a couple NY guys from another board tell me, January is actually the best month for numbers. They report 50 fish per fisherman (boat anglers), which are on average 5-10 lbers. Those size fish might not get the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& excited, but in January I'll take what I can get.
Might try to sneak in a meet with those guys on the 8th if the weather's good, if not then probably the first part of January. If it turns out as good as they report, I will no doubt be making return trips. Don't know if those guys will continue to meet me, if not, I've got room in my boat. Always better, and safer this time of year, to have a friend or two along.
I would also like to get out with some of you guys & gals and we will all have a serious case of cabin fever come January. I will post something substantial as soon as I know something.
I did find out that you will need a license if you fish 500 feet north of the Rt 1 bridge. The CT fish & game number is 860 424-3105 and you can buy a season for $25 (out of state) or 3 day permits for $8. Looks like there web site http://dep.state.ct.us/
has a download for out of state inquires. I didn't run the download, so I'm not sure if this is a means of buying the permit/license online or not. Maybe one of you guys that is planning on hitting it earlier than I am, can check that out for us.
Tight lines.
