Neglected to mention this:
On November 10 when Val. S. and I were fishing in Long Island Sound just off the mouth of the Housatonic River, we saw a seal chasing bluefish.

NOAA Scientists Catch Rare Giant Squid
“Scientists from NOAA’s Fisheries Service have captured a giant squid while conducting research off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. This is only the second known giant squid obtained from the Gulf of Mexico – the first was collected in 1954 off the Mississippi Delta where it was found floating dead at the surface.”Article from NOAANews.NOAA.gov

Don’t forget, a saltwater fishing license is now required to fish the marine waters of Connecticut. You can purchase one from your local bait & tackle shop, such as Newtown Bait & Tackle, or at Town/City Hall.
