Hoping to go fishing in Norwalk? Make it happen, with CT Angler Fishing!

With Captain Mat DiGiovanna (IGFA Certified Captain) at the helm, you’ll benefit from 30+ years of fishing knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, Scup (Porgy), Black Seabass, Bonito, Little Tunny (False Albacore), and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Mathew also offers fly fishing.

Capt. Mathew welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also remember to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Capt. Mathew operates a 22’ Mako center console with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included (depending on trip).

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

*START TIMES ON TRIPS ARE ADJUSTED BY CAPTAIN DUE TO TIDES, WEATHER, and WHEN THE FISH ARE BITING! BE SURE TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH MAT.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with CT Angler Fishing!

Hard Tails: A term us fisherman commonly use to affectionately refer to any members of the small pelagic tuna species that visit our waters this time of year. Bonito, Spanish Mackerel and the coveted FALSE ALBACORE are slowly funneling into Western Long Island Sound this time of year. When targeting these speedsters its hard to remain calm because you have a chance to hook into some of the fastest fish in the sound.

Fishing can be fast and furious once we find them. Casts must be quick and accurate. These fish are fast, finicky and a lot of fun to catch. False albacore can dump 30 yards or more of line from your spool in seconds. It is my favorite time of year! *Sometimes while waiting for the fish to pop up we can drop down and catch porgies and seabass
