The boats have been fighting bumpy weather and starting to get into some quality Haddock now that the tides have subsided. Some nice 8-10 lbers have been coming up with a few double headers for those patient enough to wait for the second one. Clams and shrimp has been in the mix of bait, it seems once they are under the boat they will bite on anything. The boats have been from Stellwagon to Jeffreys ledge and have had a handful of Haddock at most stops.One stop was lock and load doubles as a ball of feeding fish came under the boat and all the rods went down. Deeper water is holding most of the bait and that’s were we are finding the fish. Still openings for full charters as well as shared charters

The boats did get out for a few days despite the rough weather. Haddock were caught by all as bait rigs tried to stay on the bottom with the fullest moon tides we have had in years! Anglers did a great job moving around the boat to avoid tangles as the tide screamed like a raging river. It took a great deal of constant rod tending to keep the baits on the bottom. The Haddock were not fast and furious like last year yet. We will be on the other side of the moon these coming up days and hopefully the weather will let us look around to find some bigger piles of Haddock.
It was great getting out and enjoying the day with some great people as the caught some great tasting fish! The Haddocks were all nice firm white meat that folks have called to say how delicious it was! This is real cold water fish as the surface water temp is still in the thirty’s. Here are a few photos of some of the anglers with their catch.

This is the first post of what I hope will be many on a positive note. Both boats are at the dock and will run this weekend in search of the Monster Haddock. Last years trips were spectacular and we are hoping to find the same this year. The water is 5 degrees colder with the temp only at 37degrees so we are with much anticipation! There has been reports of some large Haddock tows by the draggers to the north,that’s a good sign!
Capt. Rob will be running the Kayman Too again this year and Mate Sean is expected to be working the deck. Capt. Kevin will be on the Lisa&Jake along with a new deck hand Dave. We will try to get more news letters out this year wit
Check h updates to regulations, what is up and coming and some good fish recipies. If you have not received the news letter please send over your e-mail and I will make sure it gets added to the list.
back soon as I will add the fishing reports!

It is the end of January and the snow and storms will not stop! Cod fishing for my permits has been reduced to 50 pounds of Cod fish under the commercial permit and zero pounds of Cod under the Charter Permit! So the Cod fishing has come to a holt and the boats and my house are getting some love!
I found some picture of our last trip out in December on a Pollock trip. The fish were so thick I had to take a picture of the bottom machine. The bottom was 242 feet deep and I moved the cursor to the top of the pile of fish at 177 ft. Thats right do the math 65 ft thick of fish! Well it did not take long for these guys to fill the boat!

As the Lisa&Jake and the Kayman Too get some love in dry dock I attended a “listing session” on Making Bluefin Tuna an endangered species. Thats right! for anyone who has a boat or fished on our boats the countless days of seeing Tuna busting from right outside the harbor to some of our spots 30 miles offshore.
This was petitioned by folks in Arizona to make Blue-fin endangered. It was presented to NOAA who did not see any reason that Blue-fin Tuna should not be put on the endangered list.
Shame on them for using old data that was catch data only and basically for commercial size fish! This cost you your tax dollars for five meetings houses plane fares and many administrative hours, to figure out that they don’t know what they are talking about.
It was made quite clear by approximately 100 fisherman and spotter pilots that there are so many juvenile and large Tuna of all different year classes on feeding days you can walk on them from Canadian waters down to the Jersey coast!
It was great to see a good turn out in Boston and I hope Maine goes the same way.
What will happen next;
After the Public Comment NOAA will evaluate the data and make a ruling by May 24th.
If all the comments were ignored and these meetings were a government parse and this Arizona group is tied into Obamas appointed environmentalist Dr Jane Lavabitch on May 24th they will rule Blue-fin Tuna an endangered species!
What does that mean?
Endangered species means NO TAKE or attempt to take. Yes no fishing for yellow fin or albacore swords ect…you might catch a Blue- fin Tuna!
Keep an eye on the actions of Jane Lavabitch and write any letter you can to stop here wasting your tax dollars to support these do gooders and put thousands of people out of work and take away a great public resources!

George Linkus and his buddies looked forward to thier Pollock trip. It was far beyond what they expected as only 4 of them showed up to fish. They succesfully caught the fish for all 6 of their group with over 1000lbs of Pollock hitting the deck. Hats off to them and 78 yr young Charlie who reeled up double 15lbers all day, then enjoyed Corona’s on the way in!

The Pollock fishing remained hot as ever! We put as much as the group wanted around 900 lbs that turns into around 300 lbs of fillet for the group. We then moved on to try for some Giants.
The baits were deployed and 20 minutes later we were on! The boys fought the fish for 40 minutes and landed a 389 lb Blue-fin!
After returning to the anchor with the fish still bleeding on the side of the boat a new bait was placed in the same spot and bamm! We were on again!
Unfortunatly the hook got pulled on this one the fish was lost.
Thank to Dennis Maher group from Ma for a great job!

As the Cod has come to a close in the Gulf of Maine, we turn our targets to the very aggressive Pollock. Everyone has caught a Pollock or two but unless you have experienced Fall Pollock fishing on the Kayman you haven’t been!
The Pollock gather up into giant schools this time of the year to spawn. It is not uncommon to see them up to 50ft thick, {the school we were on the other day was about 30ft thick.}
These fish are starving because when in the spawn they don’t actively target food. When a jig or anything that moves it put in front of them they inhale it !
These are the strongest fighting fish for their size!
We rig the leaders with 200lb test line to aviod breaking the jigs and teasers apart, even 100lb test will break with two of these aggressive fish fighting each other!
Almost every drop all 6 anglers will come up with doubles. This fills the boat quickly as over 1000lbs of fish can be put on in no time at all!
