is it not possible to catch snappers or scup from shore in Soco?

[Jim in CT]

for the second year in a row our camper is near charlestown for ten weeks. for the second year in a row the kids and i visit the local tackle shops, ask advice, buy bait and rigs, and then go get skunked. the fishing in ct generally stinks, but geez i can go get a couple of snappers when i want at this time of year.

any suggestions? we’ve tried weekapaug and charlestown breachways, and a couple spots further up charlestown pond near a big kayak rental place. also the short wall near george’s in galilee. i haven’t even seen a fish caught. it’s amazing.
