Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Except for Napatree Point (which is a long walk), these other spots are only reachable by boat. Canoe or kayak is certianly a viable option for Sandy Point and surrounding areas. Latimer Reef gets pretty choppy at times and a stout vessel is a must. Good fishing!!!!!!!!!

Thames River has some shore spots along the eastern bank in Gales Ferry. Fish near the train tracks off of Route 12 but bring a good casting pole to make it to the channel. I don't fish from shore but I know people have been getting fish on the surface and also by chunking bunker or squid. I was able to net some peanut bunker with a friend of mine the other day and we tried for some stripers on the live bait. Believe it or not, we caught a bunch of scup on the 3-4 inch bunker. I couldn't believe it.
