Fishing in Waterford

Waterford, Connecticut, offers a premier coastal fishing experience where the Thames River meets Long Island Sound. Anglers flock here for diverse year-round opportunities targeting striped bass, bluefish, fluke, blackfish, and scup. The warm-water outflow from Millstone Power Plant creates a unique fishery attracting species like triggerfish alongside seasonal runs of bonito and false albacore.

Explore productive grounds like Two-Tree Channel’s deep drops for fluke drifting, or jig near submerged rock piles off Millstone Point for trophy tautog. Shore anglers access prime spots including Seaside Park’s jetties for striped bass and Jordan Cove’s rocky shores for porgies. Keeny Cove delivers consistent action for striped bass and black crappie within protected waters.

Boat-based charters leverage Waterford’s strategic location to access the Thames River’s striped bass runs, Niantic Bay’s structure, and the rich ecosystems of Little Rock and Black Rock. Whether drifting the "bowls" near Seaside for flounder or casting topwater lures along crescent beaches at dusk, Waterford combines accessibility with exceptional inshore variety.

Captain Ken Brodeur was the best. He has fished the area for years and took us to areas teeming with fish. Although we had not been striper fishing before, everyone in the group managed to hook up with fish. The boat was a great platform and very comfortable. We highly recommend fishing on Striper Snax.

Absolutely fantastic day of fishing! Wherever we stopped, from the start to the end of our trip, we all caught fish. Many times, all three of us had fish on at the same time. The Captain was on top of everything. Equipment was solid as was the boat. Perfect size for the 4 of us. I highly recommend Striper Snax Fishing Charters and we will book again. Thank you for a really great day on the water. Was a blast!
