Fishing remains very good, haddock is out numbering the cod at this time. There have been a couple trips that were on the spotty side. The fish were there but wanted nothing to do with bait or jigs. Capt Josh had a couple stops where he put some big ole fatty haddock on the boat.

Our half day fishing started last week with a great trip. We were able to find a bunch of haddock in the half day grounds. That’s a great sign for things to come.

Our pool winners this week are Mario Moran of East Boston. He jigged up a 15lb cod on the Yankee Clipper. Jacco Bourgault of Monson MA. Caught a 15lb cod on bait.  Leave it to Gina Hart of Gloucester to catch a 15lb Pollock on the jig. Another Gloucesterite Chris Brown baited up a nice wolfish. Kyle Gorman of Woburn MA joined in with a 16lb wolfish of his own.

There are still plenty of schoolie stripers around the harbor, the mackerel have moved outside. Word from the dock has them out in Ipswich Bay.

Ask the Girls about our over night trips. Yankee Tackle has also got some great new items as well as plenty of bait.
