The Cod and Haddock fishing with a mix of Slammer Pollock continues to be nothing but superb! Jigging from the shoals of Stellwagon to the deeper hard bottom to the east has been producing great numbers of fish.Pollock and Cod 15- 20 lbs have been jigged up by most anglers.

 

Tuna fishing has begun this week, good numbers of fish have shown up but continue to be on the move. Bob Guay and Doug Barker together fought and landed there first large Bluefin this week. A 278 lb fish was caught on a live bait on Stellwagon Bank.The Tuna put on quite a show as it first lunged out of the water to get the bait that was swimming on the surface at the time missing the bait the fish then turned around and inhaled it screaming the line of the reel! There are still open dates to book your Tuna trips.

Haddock are strong in certain spots with few dogs in the mix. This years Haddock are averaging much larger than in the past years, The Haddock are hitting jigs but still preferring the baits.

Early AM trips have seen incredible action as Cod are feeding high in the water column in the dark. At false daybreak the fish are slamming jigs 20′ under the boat! This has made for some incredible fast action that fills the boxes by Sun -up. Mate Matty has been cooking up special break fast sandwiches on these trips to give anglers the extra energy they will need. Ask for Capt. Robs pre dawn trip for a different experience

Ground fish continues to be as strong as ever. The Cod fish are very plentiful and are great quality fish. The pick and choose method is still applied as only the best fish are taken to top of limits every day.Large Pollock have also spiced the catch to fill many fish boxes. A lot of fog and tons of seaweed hampered the trolling efforts this week as bow rail visibility was about all you could see most days.
