I haven`t personally seen them,but I heard from reliable sources of exotic species seen in the western sound.I`m talking dolphins,sea turtles,whales and mola mola.Someone at my marina in City Island said he saw a small sea turtle at the dock.This is great but I wish there were some keeper fluke...
Benny,you talking about Milti on the North Star. That old crab used to argue with everyone on board. I was aboard one day with a small crowd. He put out a clothes line with a dozen hooks attached on both ends with rods,and caught fish.

I`ve been trying to get out but the weather keeps going against me. The next trip I do will be for flatties and blackfish. Has anyone heard of any tautog action in the western sound?My lilacs are starting to bloom ,if that means anything today.Some of the guys at my marina are getting keeper...
