The Yankee Clipper kicked off the season fishing full day trips all weekend. Saturday showed us some tougher sea conditions and we spent the whole day on anchor making several stops averaging about 30 min each with a very quick first stop. The fish would bite then cool off quickly requiring us to move frequently….

Big pollock are coming over the rail on our jig trips. The bite so far turns on fast and cools off. Experienced anglers catch them quick and really load up. Still have some space this Sunday and weather looks good so far.

The Yankee Clipper and Yankee Star have been producing good trips. Anglers have been seeing a good haddock bite and some people are getting close to their limit on marathons. Pollock and Cod are coming up too.

Anglers are getting some big cod and pollock on jigs. Experienced anglers are seeing 10+ haddock on good days. The dogfish thankfully have been minimal, mostly keeper fish coming up. Photos from past few days.

Fishing has been hot the past few weeks. The boats for the most part are avoiding the dogfish now; we see some, but way more keepable fish. Experienced anglers get their limit of haddock some days. Everyone is seeing haddock, cod, pollock, and some lucky anglers are seeing some large white hake.

Anglers on the Yankee Clipper are hooking some big pollock and cod on the full day trips. The dogfish are hot and cold, some days we have to fish through them and move and other days we barely see them.

The Yankee Clipper has been finding the cod and some nice size haddock with them. Anglers that jig have been hooking some cod quite a bit bigger then 23”. We’re running one overnight trip this month Friday – Saturday September 27 – September 28. Sailing to Platts or Cashes.

Opening day of Cod saw some nice slob Cod being caught.  Also the usual nice big Haddock and 50 to 60 large Cusk!  Just a handful of Pollock this trip.

Well Thursday we fished hard through some tough conditions with tide running strong and the north east wind cranking.  The intrepid anglers caught a lot of nice Haddock and Cusk.  A few nice Pollock too.
