Niantic Fishing Report



INSHORE – During the Winter season the migratory fish have left the area and the variety of fish available in State waters are slim. Cod, Atlantic is the main species to keep while winter fishing but they are found mostly in Rhode Island saltwater. Inshore anglers can fish for holdover Striper (Bass, Striped) in many of the tidal rivers. We are looking forward to the Spring run. As we find varying weather conditions from day to day we encourage all anglers to stay safe and warm when fishing. This is a great opportunity to check out some of the current Pro Angler App features along with new additions coming soon. We look forward to bringing you more great Pro Reports when the bite fires back up.

Niantic Fishing Report



INSHORE – This week we expect to see a continuation of the bite last week. Bass (Bass, Striped) will be higher up in the rivers. There may still be a few lingering around the mouths of the Housatonic, Connecticut and Thames rivers. The bigger sizes will still be caught at night. Soft plastics mimicking Herring and Eels will do well. Live Herring is your best bet. You can find Herring in the water all winter. Find the herring to find the fish. To the South we continue to see some Cod (Cod, Atlantic) turn up when the weather allows anglers to get out. Head just South of Block Island for the best bite. We hope to see this continue into next week.

Niantic Fishing Report



INSHORE – Schoolie Stripers (Bass, Striped) are tough. Fish seem to be coming up during the daylight only. They seem to turn on and off depending on location. They come up hot when they stop to feed so you may need to cover some ground and look for the birds. PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below to reveal more tips and tricks on how to catch!

OFFSHORE – Cod is the biggest target for anglers this week. Cod (Cod, Atlantic) and Black Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) are both doing well for that matter. Shark’s Ledge is a good place to fish, especially with some of the nice weather windows we’ve had. The bottom has been loaded with Sea Bass. Anglers are getting doubles of 20 inch fish. They are taking jigs in 60 ft of water around the humps. Around Sharks Ledge, Clam is working better to hook Cod and Sea Bass than jigs

Bridgeport Harbor is good for Tautog along with the walls as is New Haven Harbor and Stamford Harbor to the West. Sunken Island is also producing fish.

Albies (Bontio, Little Tunny) are here and there. Plenty of Bluefish can be hooked as well. Stripers (Bass, Striped) can be caught from shore as well as the closer boats. For surf casters, the fish aren’t difficult to find however the sizes are the tough part. If you put some time in you’ll find something of size.
