We fished the CT. River here today, for 4 hours. Controlled drifted and cast the shorelines in <10' of water. Water temp. is still hovering around 42 degrees, with a clarity of about 2'. Wish we could have stayed longer, but here are some pics:

No giants, but respectable fish none the less. The hard jerkbaits and tubes caught most. We tried grubs, jigs and blade baits as well. The fish are just not in the deep holes yet!

Nice!

Nice looking smallies.  Haven't fought a good sized smallmouth in close to 2 years.  Man they're fun to catch

Nice Job.

November Smallies are always a prize catch.

A-Jay

Nice ones there.

Awesome!!

What section of the river did you fish?

I have heard of north of Windson Locks and south of the Oxbow giving up 6+'s and consistant 3-4's.

Nice fish for November though...

Actually, north of the Oxbow. And yes, there are some dandy smallies throughout this fine river system.

Those are some beauties!
