We've had four scouting trips in the past ten days, catching schoolie bass up to 26" around the Norwalk Islands as well as many bluefish in the 5-7 pound range mid-Sound--all top-water action, using light tackle. Water temps are still under 60 degrees, and as soon as the weather heats up, a lot of bait will be headed our way, and the larger stripers that have been hanging around Hempstead Harbor will be coming closer to Norwalk shores any day now.
