Why come fishing in Clinton?
The current moves water much faster in Clinton. Water from Block Island sound and the Atlantic rush in via the Race and Plum gut. It’s full of Oxygen, so it piles bait many different sizes. The faster current can be tough to fish (requires heavier tackle) but it pays off. The outcome…a lot of bass over forty pounds caught off of Clinton. Another positive is that Clinton Bass/ bluefish seem to feed on more than just bunker (squid, butterfish, bay anchovies, herring and shad). With such a variety, we can fish using many different tactics to catch them. Finally, Clinton has a few reefs that when heavy current / tide washes over them it creates turbulence or what is called a rip. The rip tumbles bait around (like a washing machine) dazes it and makes it easy for bass and bluefish to gobble up.
Clinton is just about 55 miles east of Stamford via I95 exit 62. It’s a shoreline historical town centered in the middle of Connecticut’s vacation belt. Before/ After fishing… I highly recommend checking out the neighboring town Greens, where you can find some great shops and some fantasic food. Doesn’t get any better than eating a fresh lobster roll off the dock at Clinton’s lobster landing! Or check out “The Place” in Guilford which has been written up in Bon Appetite and Coastal Living Magazine. If you’re feeling lucky you can drive another 25 mins. east to the casinos. If you don’t have time for any of that, well my marina offers nice showers for a refreshed drive home. Looking forward to seeing you aboard!!!
