Week of July 18

By Bill C

Bill at Yankee Fleet reports that the fishing at the beginning of the week was on the slow side. Capt. Josh worked hard at putting the fish on the boat as he always does. His hard work paid off, the fishing has improved every day. More haddock were caught than cod. The cod that were brought aboard were nice fish.

Our resident fish reporter and blog specialist Willy Goldsmith brought some Kids up from the Park School in Brookline for a two day fish camp. Turned out to be a great success. Everyone had a great time and even a historic harbor tour.

Capt. Dave has done a great job with our half day fishing. He has zeroed in on the inshore haddock and managed to avoid most of the dogfish. It is a great family outing. Give it a try.

Our best wishes are with one of our oldest friends. Harold (Big Fish) Diggs. He is having a hip replaced. He thinks it might help his fishing. But we don’t think so! Also another long time friend Ed Guziak informed us that he is hanging up his fishing gear after close to thirty years fishing at Yankee Fleet. He will be missed by all of us. But mostly me!

Our pool winners this week were Jim Brennan of Gloucester. 15lb cod. Edward Grzymajlo of New Britain Ct. 25lb catfish. George Deveau of Gloucester. 15lb cod. Ed Lackely of Chelmsford 10lb cod. David Mycue of North Reading. 10lb haddock. All the pool fish were caught on bait.
