Report for Long Island Sound

Tuesday we sailed with Robert Remin of White Plains and his brother and nephew. The winds were with us again, but after a slow start we found bluefish off of Westport and did well with top-water action, tallying more than a dozen blues 4-6 pounds. We departed from our regular routine on Thursday--and took out Scot Albertson of Norwalk--a scuba diver who likes to look around in the waters on the Long Island Side. Scot is an accomplished singer and spends a great deal of his time in New York City clubs and restaurants. He gave me his latest CD, and my wife and I were quite entertained as we listened to him and his combo. It was back into the charter mode on Saturday morning--with Daniel Liebersohn, a New York attorney, his son, Jake--and Jake's buddy, Lawrence Sloane--as well as Dan's friend, Lorin Finkelstein of Ardsley NY. We started out fishing for porgies at 20-foot depths off of the Norwalk Islands, and the action was nonstop--with 40 fish brought in, keeping about 12 for the table. We then moved inshore and scored with some nice schoolie bass and bluefish up to 7 pounds--keeping just one.
