Fishing Reports, News, And More

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.

Thursday anglers fished hard to bring home some nice haddock for dinner.

On the Thursday 12 hour “Marathon”  fishing trip:  First 2 hours saw non stop haddock being caught including occasional double headers.  End of the trip had wild action as well with the pool winning cusk also getting caught.

We never quite got a slamathon going on Saturday.  Around 11 am they were biting real good and that was the best part of the day, but it never quite broke wide open.  We picked away at them the rest of the day.

Saturday, the rough sea conditions and tide made for a slow start to the day.  Conditions and subsequently the bite improved as the day went on.

First drop in the morning we had a Haddock slamathon going.  It lasted an hour and a half.  We picked away at them the rest of the day.  Several anglers limited out.

On Monday’s trip experienced anglers averaged 10 to 15 keepers.  Newer anglers averaged 4 to 7.

The big spring time April Haddock bite continued on Sunday!   6/0 hooks on 50 pound test mono leaders were met with endlessly hungry Haddock drop after drop.  The bite did slow down in the last hour of the trip but many anglers had their limit at that point.
