Block Island Sound Fishing Trip

Church of the City New London sponsored a trip on board the Black Hawk Fish Charter out of Mago Point in Waterford, Connecticut. The purpose of this event is to familiarize church members with the bountiful fisheries of the Long Island and Block Island Sounds. This was an eight hour trip in which every single person was able to harvest different species of bottom fish, such as black sea bass, porgies, mackerel, etc. 

This event gave us to opportunity to take young men that otherwise are unable to experience fishing for food and have them bring home sufficient fish to feed their families for several days.
