CAPTAIN RICK MOLA (Owner)

For more than 50 years, Fisherman's World has provided everyone from beginners to professional charter captains with the best fishing tackle, accessories and advice available anywhere.

Stop by and see if we can't improve your fishing experiences.

"Few people know the waters off Norwalk like Mola. His wealth of knowledge comes from working as a mate aboard his father's charter boat and at the family tackle shop since he was very young. In fact, he and his dad pioneered many of the tactics now being used in the western portion of the Sound. A noted authority on catching trophy stripers, Mola is equally skilled at tautog, fluke and the world of canyon fishing."
