Rich,
I tried to respond to you PM but I get a message that your not accepting PMs. In answer to your question I have not fished the Connetiquot this year so I don't know first hand how the fishing is there. I have been told that the fishing is no where near as good as it was when the hatchery was open and they were feeding the fish in the river. The State is talking about closing both the Connetquot and Caleb Smith State parks due to budget short falls. I would suggest you call them to see if they are open before you make the trip. I also think Caleb Smith would be your best bet if it's open,

Bill
