Norwalk Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report
We sailed early Sunday with Dave Ellis of of Darien and three 8-year-old boys, including his son, Sam. The trip started out on the slow side, but when found an active porgy hole, the kids baled the scup nonstop--with the largest being 16". A nice blue was lost at the boat, but was the day's only bluefish sighting.
Tuesday's trip was booked by Dan Faricy of Boise ID, who treated two Greenwich residents to a day aboard "My Bonnie". His guests were father and son David and T.J. Sarda. They had a great morning catching bluefish on the surface around four miles offshore. Again, the action was continuous for the anglers--both with surface plugs and a fly rod.
On Wednesday we had aboard William Banks of Darien and his grandson, Jack McEwan of Durham NC. It was a wonderful day of fishing, with blues up to 13 pounds on jigs and one striper measuring 26". When we moved to the middle of the Sound, we plugged up some blues 4-6 pounds, using poppers.
Thursday morning we had two anglers with us who were back after a previous trip a week ago. Jim Winters of Norwalk and his father-in-law, Peter Burster of Port St. Lucie, FL, got large bluefish up to 11 pounds and a 17.5 pound striped bass--all caught on sandworms.
We saw a school of false albacore while we were fishing in deep water, but they were too elusive for my passengers.
