Tuesday/ Fish’n Chicks

By Bill C

After a slow week of fishing, things have picked up again. Tuesdays Limited Capacity trip was very successful. An even mix of cod and haddock with some cusk thrown in. Bait seems to be out fishing the jig, but some nice cod have been caught on jigs.

Fisn’n Chicks was a good trip again. Although a little shy of people, the Ladies had a great time. Some nice cod and haddock were caught. Quite a few cusk were caught as well.

We had a little lapse of reporting the last week or so. We will be back on track from here on out.

Good Fishing Continues!

By willy

Capts. Josh and Kirk report a solid week of fishing, with cod and haddock making up the majority of the catch but with some pollock and cusk in the mix too. Dogs have become a bit more of an issue this week, but anglers fishing one baited hook close the sinker have been catching groundfish through the hounds. Two-hook bait rigs are a sure-fire way to spend the day dealing with doggies and tangles. Jigs, as per usual, have been taking most of the larger cod and pollock.

Two all-day boats are sailing both tomorrow and Sunday–join us!

Summertime Codding at its Best!

By willy

100_8180Capts. Kirk and Josh report a great weekend of all-day fishing aboard the Yankee Patriot and Yankee Clipper, respectively. Nice clean market cod in the 6-10-pound range have been comprising most of the catch; they’ve been eating both bait and jigs, although jigs have been culling most of the bigger pool-winning fish, which have been in the low twenties.

Haddock have been the second most-caught species after cod, with most of them being taken on bait but with some mondo specimens like 100_8730Linsel Clarke’s 10-pounder on Saturday succumbing to the jig. Some pollock have been around as well, not as many as there were in June but instead the more standard summer sprinkling on each trip with fish ranging from mediums to 20-plus-pound jammers. Some cusk, wolffish (released, of course), and a few white hake round out the take on what have been a very good couple of days of summertime fishing. Dogfish appear to have moved further inshore and haven’t been too much of an issue on the all-day boats–fingers crossed. Despite the steamy summertime weather, there’s still plenty of life out on the grounds, with birds, whales and tuna joining schools of groundfish in a collective assault on various baitfish, mainly spike mackerel and herring. We can only hope that the fishing stays as consistent as it’s been 100_8741recently. (Photos courtesy of galley-man extraordinaire, Jay Benjamin)100_8286100_8813

Slow Day

By Bill C

The Yankee Patriot went out yesterday. The bite was slower than it has been. Plenty of fish marking but they just didn’t want to jump on the hooks. I guess thats why they call it fishing and not catching!!!

By Bill C

Capt Pete Mondello was at the helm of the yankee Clipper today. Just got off the phone with him. He reported an excellent day of fishing. he had an even mix of cod and haddock, caught on both bait and jigs. Tomorrow is Limited Capacity Tuesday. 40% fewer people, means more elbow room.
