if you're going looking for good saltwater fishing id try to stay about as close to the ct river as possible. That gives you both block island and montauk relatively close by and the ct river itself is a world class fishery offering huge bass, blues, and further up big pike smallies largemouths catfish carp just to name a few. Also the water quality drops a bit the closer you get to new york. Being based out of fairfield county a lot of the warmer summer months a big amount of fish move east out to the cleaner, deeper, and faster moving waters that the eastern sound has to offer.
