    great experience!

    FULL DAY TRIP • 2 adults • 1 child

    our trip couldn’t have been any better. captain matt is such a great guy. he wss incredibly patient and gracious to me and my son and he answered every one of my sons 10,000 questions. matt was upfront with me before we committed that the water has been really warm and that we might not catch a lot of fish, but he assured me that he would try his best. he put us on some good fish right away and we landed a keeper size strip in the first 20 minutes. I appreciated his willingness to try many spots and didn’t just troll with us. the highlight of the trip was hooking into a big striper that my son so desperately wanted to catch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend captain matt to anyone. e

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    Scup (Porgy)

    A man with a plan and results for any situation

    Half Day Trip – Norwalk Islands • 4 adults

    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.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Ben! Turned out to be a good day!

    Perfect day

    Half Day Trip – Norwalk Islands • 4 adults • 2 children

    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

    Response from Captain

    Great day! Nice meeting you and your family.

Hard Tails are Here!

Aug 24, 2025 • Norwalk
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. I will seek out the areas where these fish congregate, sometimes covering a lot of water. We looks for birds, and splashes. Then fire out lures into the mix. 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

PORGY FISHING IS HOT!

Aug 24, 2025 • Norwalk
Had a great day today fishing with Jaime and family. We caught over 20 porgys and even caught a few of these “spot” which is in the croaker family, a southern fish that is now a frequent visitor of western long island sound. Hopefully after all of this east wind we will have some bonito and spanish mackerel in our waters soon. ?
