Thank you for the replies Devils fiddle & Blitzseeker-
The Race it is--
If I may ask, is the race better during incoming or out going tide? I’ve fished from shore a few times at the end of the runway on Fishers island but never out in my boat. Is it better to be near the island or out more towards the lighthouse?
Also, have you done any good around Long Sand Shoal? I gave it a shot a few times but nothing.
My best luck has been to motor west to Nun#8 outside the freestanding break wall between Clinton Harbor and Westbrook. (Ive been keeping an online log @

Have you come across any big stripers working the surface yet? I scan the horizon every trip with the binoculars but have not seen anything yet. I'm dying to bring a few to the top with plugs!
Thanks a lot--
By the way, how many CT boat guys are there in this group?
