Westport River Outfitters

Capt. Carl of Westport River Outfitters enjoyed a great catch of tog in relatively shallow water in the aftermath of last week’s major blow. The skipper also fished Buzzards Bay this week and found enough tog to make everyone happy. He is still seeing good numbers of bones and breaking schoolies off the Westport coast and breaking fish are moving out of the rivers and up along the north shore of Buzzards Bay. This note was inadvertently omitted from last week’s report so it’s time to inform you that NE Fisherman subscriber Eileen Orel Faxon placed second, ahead of Carl and his daughter Tara in the very competitive Back Eddy contest. Give him a call for some good bottom fishing as there are still some good tog in warmer shallow water.

Capt. Carl with Westport River Outfitters and his daughter Tara took a very close third place in the annual Back Eddy fishing contest in Westport over the Columbus Day weekend. Carl put some miles on to pick up some hefty bluefish and the attendant black sea bass and Albies. He has some open fall dates for tog and migrating stripers and bones as they move along the shoreline. This is a good time to top off your season by reserving a fall date.
