Needs to find places to fish in CT

[panther75]

I will be fishing from the shore during the daytime.I have 3, 8'ft saltwater rods, and two medium/heavy action freshwater rods that have 20 pound test on them.I just wanna catch some decent size fish.I was also wondering what bait should i use and how should i present it.I am willing to fish anywhere in CT but wanna find a good place between New Haven and Guilford.I am trying to get pretty serious about surf fishing.

Thank you all for replying!
