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

Half Day Trip – Norwalk Islands
Extremely accommodating and knowledgeable captain. My group picked one of the coldest and wetter mornings a day you typically would want to reschedule and expect to catch no fish. Within thirty minutes the captain already had us hooked up and fish on boat had a heavy haul by the end of the trip.

Had a perfect day catching fish with my young kids. Captain Mat was incredibly communicative before the trip and we caught exactly what he said we would. Caught over 20 fish in just a few hours. Excited to do another trip with Mat soon
