Using Your KenCraft Boat in Connecticut

Connecticut is home to numerous lakes that you can take the family on with your custom KenCraft boat. Some of our most popular lakes include Candlewood, Bolton, Gaillard, Bantam, Waramug, and Mansfield Hollow. All of these lakes are perfect destinations to take your new boat out for a spin. Maybe you want to relax on the water with a beer in your hand, or perhaps you want to spend a beautiful summer day fishing with your closest friends. Whatever the occasion may be, the feeling of cruising on a scenic Connecticut lake is unmatched.

Lakes are always an amusing place to take the family, but if you are looking for a similar scene with a different feel, then you should take your KenCraft custom rig down some of Connecticut’s most beautiful rivers. Connecticut is home to the longest river in New England, the Connecticut River, along with other rivers, such as the Farmington River, Housatonic River, Quinnipiac River, and many more. In fact, the busiest section of the Connecticut River falls at the mouth, which can be found in Essex, the convenient location of our dealer, Essex Marine Group.

If you are looking to take advantage of the enormous size of the Connecticut River and abundance of aquatic life, a strong recommendation for you would be a custom Bayrider Skiff. These boats are perfect for a leisurely fishing outing, capable of storing 71 quarts of fish boxes and a live well capacity of 15 gallons. Some of the fish you can find out on the river include trout, bass, sturgeon, flounder, herring, eels, and salmon. Needless to say, the diversity of fish species in this river could leave you fishing for years on end with no discontent.

Overall, creating your own custom rig is going to allow you to maximize the features that you’re looking for in a boat, which will enable you to take advantage of the beautiful lakes and rivers in Connecticut.
