    He was fishing for Catfish. Thats the mouth of the Connecticut River.. It opens up to the ocean just a little past that point but the Catfish still come down that far. Theres some Big Catfish in that River! Channel Cats and white cats...

    Lovely! Great time of the year. I really don't think that guy in the photo cares if he catches a fish or not. Look like he's just enjoying the warmth from the sunshine.....Good catch Al

    That is a cool area! I have been there many times... Fort Griswold /Submarine base. Never fished there though! Got to be impressive to be fishing next to those ships!

    I read peach flowers and my mouth started watering for a nice juciy peach in the hot summer time, that is my drug. Not sure how the season will be here this year, late freeze/snow really did some damage. Glad you are finally starting to see some life Al!
