Hi guys,
First post here.
I got my first boat(used) end of 2019 and fished various CT lakes over 2020. It is a Lund WC14 tiller with yamaha 25, bow trolling motor, depth finder. I was thinking of trying for stripers on the CT river this spring, but not experienced on the river so not sure if my boat can handle it or not. I was only on the river once in recent times(last year), on a friend's 17' center console for a short ride in the Portland area. My boat is not big by any means at 14'-6" and my main concern is other boat traffic throwing bigger wakes. There can be some big boats out there.
I was wondering if anyone with experience on the river could weigh in. I was mainly thinking about the Middletown area, Haddam Meadows, or even the mouth of the river.
Thanks
