Stripers in CT

[mikedero]

HI all, well after me and the wife went to look for a new car, I went fishing in Cromwell using sandworms, I saw allot of small dead stripers but the action was slow, I did find a new place to buy bait there, SOme guy named "Little" sells bait and a small amount of tackle.

Well the waiting paid off big time, it took me close to 20 minutes to land this beast at 34" and weighed 15 pounds with 8 pound test and less then 100 yards of fishing line, it spooled me twice and twice I had to hold the line from coming off, I did get wet and I followed the fish right away in the water.
