Western CT:
Bridgeport to Stratford:  Bluefish are just about everywhere.  The big blues are on the bottom with chunks of fresh bunker.   There is the occasional bass mixing in with the catch the bluefish are running from 3lb to 12lbs as the norm. Any morning or evening you will find blues and “a bass or two” somewhere in close near the shore or the islands as they corner either snappers are anchovies.  If a harbor has bunker, they are raiding the schools 1 of 3 mornings if your timing is lucky.  Deep water watch for a cluster of boat, most likely they are jigging blues with some bass mixing in. Fluke are being caught in the late summer haunts, along the drop offs etc.   Heavier bucktail or live bait is best.  However strips of a fresh caught bluefish or bunker with a stinger hook are taking their share of large doormats.  Think big on bait for big fish.  Porgies are everywhere, would be easier to say where there not which is somewhere above the high water mark.  However the bigger porgies on average are  on structure in deeper water.  Some of the porgies are close to 17inches plus.  Worms, clams or squid all seem to be working as well along the Norwalk Shore line.  Striped Bass Fishing is super at night for schoolies for worm trollers or as I like to do it with plugs in close and shallow.  The average catch of  6 to 12 bass with a keeper thrown in seems to be the norm.  A million lures to chose from, but after dark, the yellow chicken scratch, black, clown or bone  bombe should cover your needs.  Been using the bomber mags or salt A sizes   Occasional big blue is grabbing the plug.
