Masons Island Fishing Platform

Last month the town of Stonington removed two fishing platforms from the Masons Island causeway that had deteriorated to the point of being unsafe. Local officials are working to repair and replace the underlying structure and fishing venue as soon as permitting and funding goes through.

In the meantime, the causeway with the signage 'no fishing from bridge,' has become a fishing spot. People have been fishing from the rocks and the wall on either side of the bridge. Other spots to fish in the area are Monsanto jetty and the new Stonington town dock. [org pub Shore Publishing, by Elizabeth Yerkes]
