What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Clinton, Connecticut for the first time?

The marina has great bathroom facilities. Be sure to use them before getting onto the boat. You will need a code (just message the captain). If you have young kids I would recommend a 3 hour trip. 5 hours was perfect for our group (14, 19, 42).

Plan accordingly for the weather. Make sure you bring clothing to keep you dry if the forecast calls for any rain or wind. Great seafood restaurants in the area to dine at after your trip.

Fished the afternoon and evening It was in the 90s but got colder on the water. Bring something warm

The wind and water conditions of late spring/early summer transition can be a bit difficult. You can get 4+ ft seas even when the forecast calls for 1-2. The fish are great though

Fishing midweek last week of August, we had Long Island Sound all to ourselves.

Go out with One More Drift Charter CT. Joseph and Julia will make sure you get fish on your line.
