My love for fishing started at an early age salmon fishing in Iceland. That passion grew and led me to guide on a couple world famous rivers in Iceland. That love shifted towards saltwater when I had access to a boat. When I caught my first 'albie' 15 years ago I was 'ruined', freshwater took a back seat.

Topwater Bass

May 20, 2026 • Norwalk
The reefs have been on fire in the am with big bass (some up to 30lbs) chasing bunker as the tide pushes them against structure. When the sun comes up there are more and more fish hanging low on the reefs where we have been successful vertical jigging for them and using spoons. Some reports of Bluefish sunning themselves on calm days out in the middle.
