So you and your buddies want to hit the high seas for the next big catch, eh? Well, you have a plethora of fishing charters to choose from along the Connecticut shoreline. In alphabetical order is a list of a few for you to investigate if you like inshore fishing (striped/sea bass, blue/blackfish, fluke, scup [porgy]) or offshore fishing (shark, tuna, marlin). Some provide fishing tackle and gear, some dont, so check for what you need to bring.
