Nice, from shore even. You guys must live fairly close, I can't justfy driving from north of Hartford to Groton for 2 fish, maybe if I knew of some decent clamming in the general area I would give it a shot.
Seems the outgoing is the ticket, thanks for the report

Ah OK Pugmeister, steamers huh, you mention standing room only, I assume you are referring to Flounder fishing this time of year, can't imagine much else being there other times of the year other than snapper blues, if it is the area I'm thinking.
Good to know you can dig steamers there, I was thinking more of the hard shell clams that can be raked, that digging for steamers can be hard work

Yes, crowded for flounder fishing. Later in the season they get scup, fluke, bass, blues etc off the point and beach but it's a pretty long walk from the parking area. I'll bet that the boats I see clamming in the wide "river" beyond the parking lot are raking round clams (quahogs) It's a great place to take the significant other for a walk/picnic and a really nice place for young kids. There are so many deer there they have to stage controlled hunts. It connects to another gorgeous state park called Haley Farms Park. At Bluff Point there are the ruins of the home of Governor Winthrop and some of his fruit trees still grow there.
