You're right. In Haddam, tomorrow, low tide will be at 10:37 am and high tide will be at 4:14 pm, according to NOAA.

On the Connecticut River, I prefer the outgoing tide, although I'm not sure how the tides affect the striped bass bite.

Moving water is the key to unlocking the secrets of the River. If the tide is going out start down river and work your way north. Then vise versa. I won't say my favorite tide because you need to figure out when and where that suits you. Every predatory fish, even including bluegill in the River, will position itself to have the best opportunity for food while spending as little energy as possible. Whenever you're on the River or any tidal body of water for that matter, think to yourself, if I was a hungry fish, where would I sit to catch food? When you fish the River with that mindset, you'll catch more fish than anyone else will! Guaranteed!
