Norwalk Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report
Monday we sailed with Lee Mitchell of Darien and his father-in-law, visiting from the Lone Star State. Bass up to 27.5" came in and some slammer blues, after which we found a body of smaller blues off of Westport feeding on the surface, and the action thereafter was nonstop.
Tuesday morning's trip was with Steve Roberts and his 10-year-old a son, Ben--along with Doug Slater of New Rochelle. After a slow start we found nice-sized bluefish up to 10 pounds and tallied 11, mixed in with some stripers. Young Ben is a great angler, and he kept up with dad and Slater; his only complaint at the end of the trip was that he was arm weary from all that heavy-duty reeling.
On Wednesday we had our regular, Murray Verlin of NYC and Stamford, aboard--along with his chauffeur, Donnie. They had fun pulling in porgies nonstop, with about 10 keepers in the lot. We then hunted down bluefish and found a nice body in Westport, with the blues coming in at 7-10 pounds--many of which were kept for an evening barbecue.
Thursday was a banner day--perfect weather and great fishing. Joe Walsh and his son, Joel, of Norwalk enjoyed bringing in blues off of Goose Island--using Creek Chub and Gag Grabber plugs. The fish weighed 8-10 pounds. The Walshes also got into some porgies up to 16".
