After only going out striper fishing for 2 days this season I already hooked and landed my first striper of this season.  It was a great day out at the Suffield side of the Enfield Dam.  The weather was perfect you couldn't ask for a better day to go fishing.  Sun was shining down into the hole where you could see a lot of bait fish swimming around in circles.  I started out with a Gibbs pencil popper blue/white after seeing a fish boiling out in the slow water.  He hit my lure but only hit it with his body...no hook-up.  After throwing the popper for a while I decided to try my Gibbs Slammer blue/silver.  My percistance finally paid off by hooking into a fish and having a free ride down river.  After a 5 min fight I successfully landed a 28 inch bass.  I was proud of myself, for hooking and landing a fish in that tough part of the river.  I have been fishing down at the dam for 5-7 years and havn't caught anything at all.  Now I can't say that anymore.  So for those that think that there aren't any fish in the river I proove you wrong.  They are here and waiting, so go out there and get'em.    Report
