Highlights of Connecticut Striped Bass Fishing
Connecticut's Long Island Sound provides some of the Northeast's most consistent striped bass fishing, with these powerful gamefish following baitfish migrations through the area's productive waters.

Peak fishing typically occurs during spring and fall migrations when schools of bass move through Connecticut waters in impressive numbers.
Captain Romano focuses on proven techniques including live bait fishing, trolling with umbrella rigs, and casting topwater lures during active feeding periods. The 27-inch striped bass caught demonstrates the quality fishing available in these waters, with many fish exceeding the slot limit providing excellent sport for anglers.
Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass are Connecticut's premier gamefish, known for their powerful runs and acrobatic fights that challenge anglers of all skill levels. These anadromous fish spend most of their adult lives in saltwater but return to freshwater rivers to spawn, creating predictable migration patterns that experienced captains like Peter Romano use to locate feeding schools. Connecticut's striped bass population benefits from excellent habitat diversity, including rocky reefs, sandy flats, and tidal estuaries that support abundant baitfish populations.
The best striped bass fishing in Connecticut typically occurs during dawn and dusk feeding periods when these predators move into shallow water to hunt. Spring and fall migrations offer the most consistent action, though summer fishing can be excellent when targeting deeper structure and current breaks where bass ambush prey.
