Connecticut Saltwater Fishing Reports

I fished two really nice ministers in town for a retreat in Niantic.  Both were good fishermen - one on spinning gear and one with the fly rod.  We only had 4 hours and were in between tides so the pressure was on.  We found Albies at Plum Gut at the very end of the… Continue reading Albie on the Fly!

Hi everyone.  You never know what tomorrow will bring but the Albies are in thick today.   I’m busy.......but open Sunday!!  Let’s go fishing!!

I fished a really fun group today - Joe, Ronnie, and Jess.  Joe put together the trip last year for Ronnie and Jess’ wedding gift and today was the first chance they could all get together to go.  What a nice gift to give the newlyweds.  We had gorgeous weather, however, fishing started slow at… Continue reading First Albies of the Year are Here!!

I fished 3 really great guys from southern CT today.  The trip was set up for them by the lead fellow Steve’s girlfriend as a birthday gift for him.  All were experienced fishermen and one was outstanding with a rod.  We left the dock around 11am with moderate wind but not enough to slow us… Continue reading Lots of Fish To Go Along With Lots of Wind.

I fished Kyle with from Manchester, CT for a half day flood tide.   As we left the dock, Kyle predicted, somewhat tounge in cheek, that we’d get 40 fish in the afternoon flood tide.  No sooner did we get out of the marina than we found fish.  Stripers and Bluefish in a feeding frenzie… Continue reading Crazy Half Day!

On Sunday I fished with a really nice family from Farmington, CT.  Mom and dad were mostly along for the ride, but the 15-year-old son and his pal were excellent light tackle fishermen. Both could cast a mile in any direction and neither had any give in them when chasing fish.  It turned out to… Continue reading Two in a Row!!!! Stripers and Bluefish Galore!!!!!

I fished a family from Philadelphia on Saturday.  The trip was set up last minute by mom, Maria.  They were here for a quick three day vacation and I had the afternoon open so off we went to fish the ebb tide Saturday evening.  I decided to head to Plum Gut and I'm glad I… Continue reading Wow!!

As hot as it’s been, the weather was gorgeous on the water yesterday.   I fished with Southern CT local Guy and his teenage son Cameron.  Both were real gentlemen and lots of fun to fish with.   We left a little early to make a run to Watch Hill looking for Bonito.  We searched… Continue reading Hot at the Dock but Beautiful on the Water

I’ll make today’s report short. I fished with three locals today.  All were good fishermen. The wind blew dangerously hard so we called it quits after 3 hours and 3 or 4 Bluefish.  Wind was out of the east today and was blowing hard so we didn’t have anyplace we were able to hide.  We… Continue reading Wind!!!!!

I've been busy so I’m  behind on my fishing reports.  Both tides have been producing fish on the surface.  Bluefish have finally started to show after not having many here all season.  Between tides we’ve been dropping 1oz jigs in shallow water and blasting the Black Seabass, Porgies and Blackfish.  With either tide going Stripers… Continue reading Weather Great! Fishing even better !!
