Fish there every fall. Usually the last trips of the year for me but we do it by boat. Fisher's is like the Elizabeths with houses. I like the east end to mid island best. There is a spot westward of the castle on the east end that is a ring of reef and rock with a rockpile at it's center that is always a good spot. Fishing access from shore will be tough. If you can get onto the beach at the Surf Club and walk to the right side there is good fishing as the beach changes from sand to rocky structure again. Our success has always been on the out or backside of the island not the inland side. Danny plugs rule here, white, yellow and Blue/silver. White 2 oz. Pencils work great as well. EEls of course and needles might work as well. The fishing really picks up ( in a normal year) from Columbus Day to just after Thanksgiving. At the west end by the airstrip can be good. In Albie and Bonito season it can be awesome off of the east end and inside by the Stonington dike and sand bars just west of Napatree Point. Last fall just plain stunk there but then again, so did just about everywhere else.
