Dear EnCon Police,
Is shooting of clay pigeons from a boat in Long Island Sound and its CT waters prohibited? Would you need all the required permits for waterfowl and use non-lead ammo?

From the Hunting and Trapping Guide:
Trap and Target Shooting Trap or target shooting on any state property or public hunting area is prohibited unless the area is a designated shooting range.
I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to interpret CT waters as "state property". At the very least I'd foresee getting pinched for illegal dumping and/ or breach of peace by CG/local/State PD......my.02

Ive thought about that myself, I think it would be a ton of funs especially while sharking but that brings on a whole new set of laws for federal waters. I dont think I would consider LIS state property even though it techinically is???
So, who's going to be the first to design the rod-holder mounted clay thrower? It'd be great for the first hour of sharking. A little noise never hurt.
Pull!
I've got gas and I've got crabs. You wanna go out?

Three miles out and you're in Federal waters.
