Winter, 2007

I'm very pleased to announce that the 16 pound 13 oz. bluefish that I caught in Rowayton, Connecticut has been recognized by the IGFA as a new world record in the 20# tippet class category. This monster was 38 inches long with a 19 inch girth.

Our sincere thanks go out to Lou Tabory for recommending our services in his latest book: Stripers On The Fly. We're listed on page 268 under the Connecticut section for fishing guides.

Thanks also to Mark Sedotti for mentioning our charter service in a recent issue of Saltwater Fly Fishing magazine. Mark is a real hardcore flyrodder who knows his stuff when it comes to fishing Long Island Sound with the long rod. Thanks, Mark!

Please give a call if you want to get out on the water this winter. I'm developing some great new flies for 2007, and looking forward to the spring striper and bluefish action, so give me a call at 941-628-9207 (Cell) if you want to learn more.
