Fishing Norwalk

Stamford to Milford: harbors, reefs and rocky shoreline close to the cities.

What's biting now (Fall): Striped bass and bluefish feed along the shoreline; blackfish (tautog) on rocks.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, bluefish, porgy (scup), blackfish and fluke.

Also caught here: scup, tautog, black sea bass, winter flounder.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
