4/2: Found ‘Em!

By willy

Capt. Josh reports a very good day of haddock fishing aboard the Yankee Clipper today. The morning started off a bit slow, with a pair of rather unproductive anchor stops, but a move and a short drift resulted in a quick few dozen haddock before tangles became troublesome. Anchoring up resulted in a solid bite that lasted for around two and a half hours, with some anglers tallying over twenty haddock apiece. It was one of those days when due to the way the boat set on the anchor the bite was better in the stern; Colorado Jerry had 20 fish on bait in the stern while Yankee Fleet highliner Mike Abovsky (FishWisher) tallied a measly one haddock on the pulpit. Them’s the breaks.

A good amount of short and legal cod came aboard today too, especially for the jig fishermen. Some better sized fish as well, with a bunch in the 12-15-pound range. All, of course, were released…14 days… A burly 9-pound haddock won the pool.

Two boats out tomorrow and one scheduled for Sunday–weather looks fantastic and it looks like Josh and the gang have the haddies dialed in!
