Fishing Reports, News, And More

We have been doing our best to avoid the dogfish.  Luckily there are a lot of nice big haddock around this year.

The Summer Solstice trip was wild. Started out kind of normal until, second stop a great white swam under the bow, having just eaten one of our pollock. The Great white was as wide as a chevy 454 crate engine, and we estimate it was approximately 18 feet in length. On the third stop the…

In the last few days a second wave of dogfish has pushed into the waters from the north. We have shifted to fishing our defensive areas where dogfish tend to be not as prevalent. We are getting some nice big haddock every trip.

The haddock are on the move and we are following them.  The last few trips we have had some great stops and some slow stops.  Every day we see some real nice sized ones.

Sunday was on the slow side as the incoming tide was unproductive.   Memorial  Day, our boat reported in a non stop haddock slamathon right from the get go.

The Haddock fishing has been good lately.  However the area where we are finding most of them is an area that is most productive on the outgoing tide.  Sunday the tide will be incoming until about 11:35 am, so hopefully they will cooperate before that.

This was one of the rare days on the tide chart when there is one tide running the entire trip.  High tide 8:12 low tide 2:18.  Thus the bite never really slacked off.  Notice also that 2:18 read backwards is 8:12.  So, all in all, quite a lucky day.

Haddock fishing is as good as it gets right now.  Most anglers with any skill are getting limits.

The Dogfish have moved into our spring haddock grounds.  There are three primary areas that we go to in order to avoid the dogs. We will be working those areas in the next few days. We have been getting some real nice catches of haddock.  Thursday was slow but friday and sat were very productive.

The fish were biting like mad in general but some anglers caught and released 30 cod before catching their first haddock.

Monday on our first stop the haddock were biting right away.  However the current pulled us off the spot.  We quickly re-anchored up and had a two hour slamathon of hungry haddock.

Kids and adults both had fun catching haddock and cusk on sunday.
