The Connecticut Charter and Party Boat Association (CCPBA) is composed of 40 charter boats fishing in the Western, Central, and Eastern Long Island Sound. Their professional captains have verified credentials, are held to the highest ethical standards and are out on the water everyday often acting as the shepherds of their area. For this event these captains have not only donated their time but their boats, mates and proven fishing techniques. What’s unique about this trip is whether you’re a single person looking to fish or you’re a full party of six, they can accommodate.
