Connecticut Saltwater Fishing Reports

Fished with Santhosh, his son and sons friend yesterday. They made the run down from Boston for some fall fishing. Started the morning out with Albies busting everywhere near Black Point and Hatchetts reef. Those fish kept going until slack tide around noon. From there we headed to the reefs and caught maybe 15 Giant… Continue reading JAWS !!!!

Fished with Brandon and Brian both locals and experienced fisherman. We fished spinning and fly rod and the guys caught loads of Big Bluefish mostly on the ebb tide. Found gator size bluefish under birds and were able to stay with them for maybe 2-3 hours. While chasing the birds and Bluefish we came across… Continue reading Big Bluefish and a Few False Albacore

Fished my annual trip with local Scott and his NYC son Tom. Had a wonderful time but the wind made for some really rough seas and lots of slow going. Didn’t slow down the fishing though as we blasted some monster Bluefish. We looked for Albies as well to no avail. This year the Albies… Continue reading More Big Bluefish.

Fished with Mark today, he's an excellent fisherman and regular on my boat. We had a really fast start to the day blasting maybe 10 HUGE Bluefish. That bite lasted a couple hours at the end of the ebb. For a couple of hours we couldn’t miss. From there with high hopes and a tide… Continue reading Fast Start / Ugh / Great Finish

Fished with regular client and pal Tyler yesterday. Tyler is an excellent fisherman and really knows his way around a rod and reel. Weather was sunny but crazy windy. Water temp was 70 degrees. We had planned on going to Montauk but couldn’t get there with the wind. That ended up be a good thing… Continue reading False Albacore Heaven

Fished with Kelly, Mike and Kelly’s dad, Tim, today. Weather was nice and finally had no wind to speak of. Left the dock and almost immediately found Albies right near the Thames River mouth. There weren’t a ton of fish but we chased them for a half hour or so before heading to the reefs.… Continue reading Albies are Back Again

Fished with Jennifer and Zach from CT by way of Buffalo and North Carolina. Both were experienced fisher-people. We were originally after False Albacore but we didn't find the speedsters in any of the spot they normally hang out. Decided to fish for giant Bluefish and probably got a dozen to the boat. As luck… Continue reading Lots of Bluefish !!!!

Fished with a very experienced fisherman (and regular client), Billy, and his long time pal Max. Max hadn’t done much fishing but we fixed that in just a few short hours. Went to my favorite spot for HUGE Bluefish and were immediately rewarded with the big gators. Max hooked up almost immediately and Billy wasn’t… Continue reading BIG BLUEFISH 🎣 and an Albie!!!

So I took Monday off to take the love of my life (my wife Cynthia) fishing. The last time I took her fishing was 33 years ago. Had a late start and finally arrived at the dock around noon. Weather was sunny and hot but a little windy. I loaded the gear on the boat… Continue reading Wifey Wanted to Fish

Fished with Jessica and her posse today…all CT locals. Started out at Valiant and caught a few Black Seabass and a nice bluefish but fishing was pretty slow. About the time we were getting bored a pal of mine texted me that the fish were going off at Plum Gut. Weather was okay but windy… Continue reading Slow Start – Fast Finish
