The Connecticut fishing charter trips and prices for the Kingfisher Fishing Charter include 5, 6, and 7 hour trip options. The 5 hour trip will take you to the best fishing area's that Eastern/Central Long Island Sound offers (Including The Race, Plum Gut, and the CT River). This trip includes drift fishing with artificials (three waying, jigging, or casting). At times, trolling tactics can be employed if tidal conditions dictate the need. The 6-7 hour trips will allow the extra option of using live bait (bunker, or eels), as well as all the artificial techniques using conventional or casting rods. Using live bait offerings will often draw vicious strikes from trophy-sized Striped Bass and Bluefish. We have specialized in using live bait on our charters for the past 26 years. When comparing fishing charters, our 26 years of experience ensures you get the best trip possible.

If you want to bring home the best tasting fish the sound has to offer you can choose to spend the entire trip targeting bottom fish. The delicious Sea Bass fishing has been outstanding the last few years with limits being caught on a regular basis. Summer Flounder (Fluke) are outstanding table fare, Scup (Porgies) and Blackfish (Tautog) are so plentiful it is usually non-stop action with bites occurring as soon as the bait hits the bottom! This type of fishing is relaxing, action packed, and fun for the whole family!
