New Haven - Saltwater Fishing Report
July 20 21 22 report
I had a full weekend of trips planned.. The first one was on Friday. It was a 2 man trip. 1 had been out with me before. The wind was looking on the iffy side but we meet at the dock at 5 am anyways. It wasn’t bad making the long run east. We set up our drift line and started fishing. The first few drift showed that there were blues around. Each drift we made it seemed the sea got bigger. The NE wind was kicking up hard. When our drift speed was getting over 3.5 mph I decided to drop anchor and start to chunk.
We were getting thrown around pretty good. I talk to the guys and we decided to call the trip after a couple of hours of fishing. It was a long and bumpy ride back to the dock.
After the beating we took on Friday. The weather forcast was looking the same for Saturday. I called the guys and told them what the weather looked like. They all lived about an hour away from the marina and decided to book a different day.
Well NOAA was wrong again. The morning turned out pretty nice with workable seas. Still better safe than sorry.
Sunday Trip went a lot better. We ran out in a stiff NE wind and 2 footer. As the morning went on the wind and seas calmed right down. It was alittle on the slow side for fish but we came out alright. By the end of the trip we boated a very good amount of blues and 1 keeper striper.
