AW Marina

Karen at AW Marina said it was a bit of a soggy and foggy Easter morning when we spoke and things are off to a typically slow start in the eastern sound. They had sold both sandworms and crabs to excited anglers happy to get out and wet a line. There were rumors of a couple of blackfish caught from the Thames River but they hadn’t heard anything in the first person just yet. Other customers were looking to soak worms in hopes of contacting a holdover striped bass. There are surely some around but they hadn’t heard from anyone who was successful at it yet. They will be in on the weekends for the next couple of weeks and will post their hours on the Facebook page for the season very sound. In the meantime they continue to stock up with tackle for the season so stop by to gear up and grab a license.

Karen at AW Marina said they were gearing up for the season and were looking forward to another great year ahead. They plan to start things off slow and steady as the local bite in the eastern sound generally takes some time to get going. They are stocking up the shop with any gear you need to get your season going and they will have bait on the weekends. They plan to have sandworms on hand and should have crabs as well later in the month. She said there should be some stripers moving around in the river before long and heading north would be best if you’re looking for an early season linesiders. The early season squid bite should good if the last few seasons are any indication and they have plenty of jigs and gear. If you’re looking to stop by give the shop a call or check the Facebook page to see if they’re around as Karen said they are looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces.
