Weekend Update

By willy

Saturday, 4/17: Windy conditions made fishing a bit difficult for Capt. Josh and gang aboard the Yankee Clipper, making for a fair day overall. Unable to drift, anglers picked away at haddock and a mix of short and sublegal cod, catching fish at every stop but with the bite never really turning on. The best stop of the trip was the last one, which saw a good pick of haddock on both bait and jigs.

Sunday, 4/18:
Capt. Josh reports a good day of cod action aboard the Yankee Clipper today. Drift-fishing in the morning produced good numbers of keeper cod ranging from 24-inch scrod to fat markets in the 14-16-pound range. As usual, jig fishermen who could cast away from the boat had the edge. A few afternoon anchor stops produced a good bite on bait. An 18-pound wolffish snuck past the cod to win the pool.
