Yes Folks we Did Fish Saturday Oct 29!!!!!!

By Office Staff

The Nor’easter of October was no match for the Yankee Fleet, Captain Josh, the crew and a good bunch of anglers manage to get the day trip in and put some fish on the boat! One of our regular Saturday anglers reported that  Pollock was the catch of the day but Haddock and Cod were on the scarce side; the pool winner of the day was a 20lb Hake caught by Mackenzie Broider of Loudon NH. Just a reminder that The Yankee Fleet is still fishing thru November and December so put some long-johns on and get fishing!

Oct 22-23 2011 Overnight

By Office Staff

img_0713img_0716img_0693This past weekends overnight not only had great weather but the fishing was even good! Captain Josh and Tom decided to see what was happening at there favorite fall Pollock grounds and it seems like it was happening.  They made two successful stops then moved further offshore to more typical overnight fishing grounds.  The bite at night was slow but at early sunrise it turned on; medium to large Hake were abundant along with market size Cod, large Haddock  and large ( 15 + lb ) Pollock!  Just a reminder the last overnight of the season will be this weekend, saturday to sunday.  There are still a few spots left, so save a Turkey and stuff a Haddock!

Busy Weekend! Oct 22-23 2011

By Office Staff

The Yankee Fleet had a busy weekend!  Sat we had a 9 hour trip head out bright an early; the fishing was not so bright!  Dog fish chased The Clipper all day with the morning stops being the most painful.  The afternoon brought a

 more fishing luck for everyone with some nice size Pollock, Cod and Haddock brought aboard.  The Pool winner was a 15lb Pollock caught on a jig. The Half- day trip we won’t talk about! :)

Sunday brought even nicer weather than Saturday and much better fishing (phewwww)  The Clipper had a nice mix of species and manage to escape heavy amounts of Dog-Fish.  The Sunday pool- winner was a 15lb Cod.

I’m still waiting for the overnight fish report the Captain Josh is still sleeping and Capt Tom is painting The Patriot hopefully by Tuesday will have it!

The Clipper and Capt. Kirk headed out to a dreary Wed. morning with a private charter, despite the conditions our anglers seemed to have a good time and most importantly caught some fish! Everyone looked wet but happy when the boat returned to the dock!

We Made It Out!!!!!! Tues. Oct. 18th

By Office Staff

We finally got a break yesterday with Mother Nature and we took full advantage of it!  The Yankee Clipper headed out to the still dark skies, ( at 7am…. sucks) with a very light load of anglers.  The morning bite was slow do to those pesky dog-fish, but Capt. Josh made a couple of good moves and put The Clipper on the fish.  The late morning and afternoon was all about the Pollock and the pool winner was around a 17lb Pollock.

Looks like we will be stuck in port for Thursday but we do have a private charter out today so hopefully we will have a good fish report from them when they return this afternoon!  We are sailing all weekend: day trips, half-day trips and an overnight Double Dip.

Oct. 11 and 12 2011

By Office Staff

It has definitely been fair fishing over the past few days with the monster Hake still jumping in the boat! The Haddock bite has stayed strong and the Cod are coming in at market size. Both Oct 11 and 12th trips had very happy anglers! But all good things must end, so they say; Thurs and Fri are canceled due to mother nature. This weekend looks sunny but windy so we will have to wait and see.

Columbus Day Weekend Fishing

Columbus Day Weekend Fishing

Fishing Fun For all Ages
Fishing Fun For all Ages

The Yankee Fleet sent two boats out to another sunny, summer-like day today what a shock it will be when fall really comes! Capt Josh took the Clipper, with a private charter, out to explore a new area that has not been fished in awhile.  The first stop, on the anchor, was a productive one.  That’s not to say there were not an over abundance of Blue Sharks and Dog- fish trying to ruin a perfectly good fishing day!  The Clipper made a shift in postion  to  escape from our little scavenger friends and landed on a nice, steady Haddock bite that lasted through the afternoon.  The Pool winner was a 16 lb Pollock. 

The Yankee Patriot and Capt. Kirk also reported a fair day of fishing.  The Dogs and Blues seemed to be less of a problem for the Patriot crew and there was a nice pick of Haddock throughout the day’s fishing.  Capt Kirk also reported sizeble Cusk and Cod were in the mix and all of the fishing was done on bait! The Patriot’s pool winner was a 12 lb Cod caught by Sue Grigg.
