The sun-drenched days of summer bring a world of exploration and discovery for young hearts eager to embrace the great outdoors. At Carver, we believe in providing our summer campers with enriching experiences that create lasting memories and foster a deep appreciation for nature's wonders. Our recent fishing adventure on the picturesque Long Island Sound, made possible by the Pelagic Beast Fishing Charters, is a prime example of the magical moments our girls, aged 10 to 13, have enjoyed.
A Fishing Expedition to Remember
Based out of Norwalk, the Pelagic Beast Fishing Charters have transformed how our young students perceive and interact with the natural world. With their tried-and-tested fishing techniques and passion for sharing their knowledge, the Pelagic Beast crew has opened up a world of possibilities for our eager campers.
The vessel, a 32-ft Downeast-style boat, boasts both comfort and safety, ensuring our girls could fully immerse themselves in the experience without any worries. Cruising at a brisk 20 knots, the Pelagic Beast maximized fishing time, providing our campers with more opportunities to cast their lines and create stories of their own. With a capacity to accommodate six anglers and a crew of three, the boat's state-of-the-art gear and cutting-edge electronics made locating fish a thrilling adventure in itself.
Expertise and Equipment for Unforgettable Moments
Equipped with high-quality fishing gear, including rods by Seeker and St. Croix, reels by Avet, and hooks by Owner Hooks, the Pelagic Beast Charters ensured each camper had the tools they needed for success. The diverse range of fishing techniques, from trolling and bottom fishing to jigging and popping with lures, ensured every camper could find a method that resonated with them.
A Tapestry of Marine Life in Long Island Sound
Connecticut's Long Island Sound is a treasure trove of marine biodiversity, offering over 100 species of fish that dance beneath the glistening surface. From the thrill of reeling in striped bass and bluefish to the delight of encountering summer flounder, scup, hickory shad, black sea bass, and tautog, our campers were treated to a spectacular showcase of aquatic life.
At Carver, we believe these experiences are not just summer escapades but opportunities for growth and learning. Through the art of fishing, our girls learned patience, teamwork, and a deep sense of respect for the environment they were exploring.

So, the next time you wonder what's biting in Long Island Sound, ask our summer students. Their stories will be filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the magical thrill of reeling in adventure on the open water.
