Fished with Heather, Joe and their two young boys yesterday. Weather was gorgeous and fishing was really good. We fished the ebb tide. Joe was an experienced fisherman and Heather liked to watch more than fish. Both the boys LOVED reeling them in once they were on the hook. Anyway, only had a 1/2 day… Continue reading Family Fishing Fun
Connecticut Saltwater Fishing Reports
Gets Even Better After Henri
Storm Henri is long gone now. The boat is back in the water and I fished two different groups yesterday. Both trips and both tides produced awesome fishing. Stripers and Bluefish including some giant bluefish everywhere. A little unusual to have both tides produce awesome fishing but that was the case today. Soft plastics seemed… Continue reading Gets Even Better After Henri
Before the Storm. Game On!!!
Fished with 2 great guys, Mark and Mike, from New York yesterday. Had to get moving before I had to pull the boat for storm Henri. Fishing turned out to be really good. Left a little early and were rewarded right away with two giant bluefish. One over 20lbs. Went to a few more spots… Continue reading Before the Storm. Game On!!!
Fishing is Really Good!!!
Been crazy busy so no time to get reports out. But just to keep you all posted fishing had been really good. Lots and lots of Bluefish of all sizes. Some of these Bluefish are the largest I’ve ever seen and their seems to be no end to them. Schoolie Stripers through slot size are… Continue reading Fishing is Really Good!!!
Lots to See but More to Catch
Fished 4 nice folks from Minnesota and Massachusetts. Weather was terrible in the morning but cleared nicely by the time we headed out. We fished the flood tide and to be honest fishing couldn’t have been much better. This gang caught giant bluefish one after the other and all on top water. Fish blasting out… Continue reading Lots to See but More to Catch
Bluefish and Stripers…Plentiful and BIG!!!
Sunday was a day to remember. Bluefish in the 15-20 lb class and lots of Stripers. Both tides produced but a slight edge to the flood tide. This year the Bluefish have not only been plentiful but BIG. Let me tell you a 15-20 lb Bluefish on a light spinning rod or a 9wt fly… Continue reading Bluefish and Stripers…Plentiful and BIG!!!
Best Fly Rod Day in Ages
Fished with Stewart from Santa Fe NM yesterday. Stewart is one of my rare fishermen that’s more adept with a fly rod than he is with a spinning rod. Didn’t matter though as we were out for fish on the fly anyway. We made a run to Watch Hill as a pal told me an… Continue reading Best Fly Rod Day in Ages
Bad Weather but lots of Stripers
Fished with one of my best fishermen, Tyler, yesterday. Tyler is a CT local and we fish together several times every year. The weather was absolutely terrible. Wind blowing 25-30 knots and raining. We weren’t able to leave the immediate shoreline near the marina so we opted to fish the shore rocks and see if… Continue reading Bad Weather but lots of Stripers
Bucket Full of Fish
Fished a realty nice group of guys from multiple points around the country. 11 year old Adam, the grandson, is from San Francisco, Sam the uncle is from Down East Maine and Stewart the host and grandfather is from Santa Fe, NM. We fished a 3/4 day and to be sure the fishing was not… Continue reading Bucket Full of Fish
“Lots” of Bluefish & a Striper
Fished with three great guys yesterday. These three call CT home during the week and Nevada to NJ home on weekends. All are in town for a long term multi year construction project. All three experienced fishermen. We only had a short 4 hour window and the first hour was actually pretty slow. That all… Continue reading “Lots” of Bluefish & a Striper
