Norwalk Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report
On Wednesday of this week we fished with Rafael Baez of Paragon Athletics in New Jersey--and four of his co-workers. They had a good day working around the Norwalk Islands and Westport, tallying 17 striped bass and two bluefish.
On Saturday morning we left the dock and headed into a deep fog, and the pea-soup conditions stayed with us for most of the trip. But the Hayden family (George, Sharon, and 11-year-old Christopher from Bethel, CT) had a fantastic time despite the funky weather. They caught a keeper bass and many blues up to 6 pounds, all caught on bunker chunks. This was their first charter experience, and the Haydens all agreed it was their best fishing trip ever.
Sunday morning's weather was a bit better, with a light drizzle and some wind. Our passengers were Dave Johnson of Alabama, and his son-in-law--Gerard Barton of Middlebury, CT. We started out in deep water mid-Sound, but the action was too slow, so we moved closer inshore--near Westport and the Norwalk Islands--where the boys brought in 11 striped bass including one keeper measuring 32". Both Johnson and Barton were very happy campers, with Johnson promising to fish with us in Florida next winter.
