What you need for Fishers Island is someone with a small boat that can pull in right to shore. Not fish from the boat but just get a ride out. Pull the boat right up onto shore.
I always though that little channel between the race lighthouse and the south west tip of fishers island (great rips) would be just like fishing the north rip or the race itself but you could do it from shore. That spot reminds me very much of Smith Point on Nantucket.
If I were GS and heading for CT this time of year , I'd leave the rivers and head out around fishers Island. You can always fish the river all winter but for a few weeks , I'd stay outside. Just be sure to check Elbridge for the current chart info (current as in current flow not current as in recent).
