Connecticut offers excellent saltwater fishing off its shores, and there is the opportunity of having a fun and affordable day of fishing aboard one of the local party boats that are available along the Connecticut coast. Party boats are available for fantastic fishing in Connecticut's coastal communities of Groton and Waterford. Party boats departing from the marinas of Connecticut fish in the Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound, Plum Gut, and Atlantic Ocean. Expect to catch everything from inshore species including striped bass, fluke, bluefish, sea bass, and porgies, to offshore species such as cod, mako shark, tuna, dolphin, marlin, and more. Fishing tackle is typically supplied or is available to rent, and bait and fish cleaning services are usually provided. A fishing trip aboard a party boat is an excellent outing for the entire family.
