Local fishing is not great, but there is 1 nice thing. A spot called "The West Haven Sandbar" is a Long Island Sound spot about 10 miles from southern Cheshire. In a good year, that spot gets a decent run of spring schoolies. Amazingly, that spot also used to get a great weakfish run, there were many years where in May, you could target and catch weaks there. I believe it has peetered out as of late, however.

I have an old fishing partner from West Haven, Chet Tomkins. Chet is 83 and doesn't fish anymore but 20 years ago that was his local go to spot. He said it could get dicey if the fog rolled in.
