Where in CT will you be? Shore access is fairly limited in CT, so your best bet is to contact one of the shops listed on Reel-Time's home page for specifics. If you're in eastern CT, it may be worth your time to hit RI or the Cape. Again, speaking with a shop and letting them know your time constraints should help a bit with access, tides, etc.(a guide would be even better, if it's in the cards for you). The best of luck!!
