Westport River

The last two weekends have been very good in the Westport River. On 5/27 we totaled over 25 stripers up river. They ran from 24" to 32". My son lost a large fish. When the popper came back the hook was bent straight. I know, replace the factory hooks with better hooks. Lesson learned.

Saturday, 6/4, the fog forced us down river. We caught approximately 35 fish. Over 20 blues and the rest stripers. The fish were caught on herring. The largest striper was 20# coming at dusk. My sons largest striper to date. On the drive home he complained of a sore arm and shoulder while talking about his 38", 20# fish.

As a dad, this is what it is all about. Fishing with your son and memories that will last a lifetime.
