Norwalk Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report
Sunday's trip was with Peter Ryan of Larchmont NY, and his children--Andrew and Michelle. The family wanted to catch some porgies, so we set up shop off of Long Neck Point, where we found plenty of action--with the porgies coming in at a non-stop clip-- measuring up to 15". Moving much further east in pursuit of striped bass, we brought in a few--with the largest being a 25-incher. We then made our way home, with everyone being bounced around in fairly rough water stirred up by midday winds.
On Labor Day we went out with New Canaanite, Paul Thompson--and his father, Alan Thompson of Bounder CO--as well as Tim Murphy and Adam Ramirez, both from New Canaan. We started off in Rowayton, fishing for porgies, with a lot of them coming in 14-15". Then we moved toward Darien and switched over our tackle for blues and striped bass--bringing in enough of both species to satisfy all of our anglers.
Friday's weather was picture perfect, and having recently returned from the Olympics in Beijing, Virginia Kamsky and her young son, Michael--residents of Wilson Point and NYC, brought along Michael's buddy, Ian Goldberg of NYC, for their second trip this season. The afternoon started out with a bang, with large bluefish under a bunker school off of Wilson Cove. Our fishermen pulled in four blues up to 9 pounds. We then made our way towards Darien, where everyone enjoyed non-stop action with porgies up to 14".
In anticipation of the arrival of tropical storm Hanna this weekend, we'll be cancelling two of our upcoming trips.
