If fishing in Fairfield is on your bucket list, look no further than Apex Angling CT. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Ben is prepared to put you on fish!
Fishing around here will often see you targeting Striped Bass, Bluefish, Little Tunny, Bonito, and more. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Ben also offers fly fishing, and he’ll provide the fly fishing gear. Rods, reels, and lures are included, and you’re free to keep some of the fish you catch, assuming regulations allow it.
Your boat for the day is a 20’ Center console with a capacity for 2 passengers. The captain may make exceptions for additional passengers, given weather conditions and size. Please expect to have a phone call the afternoon or evening prior to your trip to discuss the fishing game plan, weather, time, and meeting location. You’ll be casting lures or flies the majority of the time on the water unless traveling to the grounds or scouting for fish. Children are welcome on board.
April through July are prime months for Striped Bass and Bluefish. During August and early September, Capt. Ben sometimes trailers his boat out east to target these migratory fish before arriving back to Western Long Island Sound for the Fall. Mid-September to mid-November are prime months for False Albacore, Striped Bass, Bluefish, and occasionally Atlantic Bonito.
Please be sure to bring polarized sunglasses, an outer layer or jacket, appropriate shoes or boots (non-marking), and any drinks or food which can be stored in the cooler. Ben will have a few drinks in the cooler to ensure anglers stay hydrated. You’ll need to buy a local fishing license before the trip.
