Report for Long Island Sound

Norwalk Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report
Our first charter of the season was with Murray Verlin of Westport and his chauffeur, Donnie. The twosome brought in 20 striped bass and one keeper fluke at 19". All were caught on light tackle around the Norwalk Islands.
On Saturday Dan Messervey of Westport and his brother-in-law--Robert White of Vermont--caught 11 bass and one bluefish that weighed in at 7 pounds. Most of the bass were brought in using bucktails--as the stripers were feeding on the surface in Westport and Southport.
Sunday's trip was with Neil Boyd of New Canaan, who brought along his father--visiting from Utah--as well as long-time buddy, Paul Thompson--for their first experience fishing Long Island Sound. It was a great day for everyone, with a catch of 23 striped bass and a bonus 19.5" fluke. The action was around Southport and Westport, as it had been on the previous day.
Lots of baitfish are everywhere in abundance--with a greater-than-usual early influx of bunker and--within the past several days--a hatch of sand eels. The blues are making their appearance mid-Sound, in 60-65-foot depths. Fishermen can try blindcasting with Creek Chub lures, looking out for surface swirls and dips.
