I'm new to the area and would like to inquire about rivers, inlets and estuaries that would be good for early season striper runs along the Connecticut coast? I mainly surf cast.

There's no fish in CT. Try RI, the Cape, or Long Island:o

Seriously, we have good early spring schoolie action starting in April. There are a few spots that hold bigger fish in the early season, but I need to learn them as well.

Try a search and give it a go.

Good Luck

A nautical chart will be a great assist by way of answering your question not only for common areas, but also for areas that may be less populated. Free online NOAA viewer...great stuff...
