Norwalk Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report
It's been a slow week, with only two trips--both on Sunday--neither of which was particularly outstanding.
On Sunday morning we had Neil Boyd, Paul Thompson, Cory Perkins and John Appel--all of New Canaan. We had to deal with winds out of the north, producing 3 to 4-foot waves. We began jigging, with some bluefish action that didn't last too long. When we moved inshore everyone got schoolie bass and blu
es up to 6 pounds around the Norwalk Islands.
The afternoon trip wasn't much more exciting. The DuMond family of Darien--Marcia and Doug and son, Andrew, brought along Andrew's friends--Remy Parsons, Channing Pear, and Ben Knight, also Darien residents. They caught a few blues, after which we switched over our gear and caught a nice mess of porgies up to 14".
Baitfish are still abundant, and we're looking forward to much better days in the weeks ahead as the water temperatures cool down.
