Hello fellow fisherman. I'm moving to the groton area next week and was curious about the fishing. I'm coming from below the mason dixon in the great state of MD.

Looks like the fishing is relatively the same we got cold mountain trout streams in western MD, and the Chesapeake Bay for just about any anadromous breeding fish plus salt water species on the coast. I fish it all.

I don't have a boat but i do have a SOT kayak. Any places within the groton/new london area worth checking out first. I've already investigated maps and found some lakes and reservoirs and boat launch at Bluff Point. I imagine the Thames is good for "stripers" or what we refer to down here as rockfish, what else would i expect to catch in there?

Any help would be awesome. Thanks and tight lines.

Welcome. fishing is great out that way and you can almost relate it to the bay area. lots of species and great for the yak. dont know if you are into fly fishing but its great down that way. as you move im sure members will guide you to some spots and maybe meet a few of us as i have not met everyone but its a great site and havent met a prick yet on this site. we all have differences on here but it is fishtalk and people will have opinions and advice. all in all great site and always looking forward to meet and greet and fish..... Groton area has the Thames sure you can google it and find out what species you would like to catch and ask questions as you move
