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.

Sunday’s trip aboard the Yankee Clipper began with a solid 1.5-hour drift which saw good action on market-sized cod and pollock, mainly on jigs. There wasn’t much wind but eventually the tide made anchoring up imperative, at which time the action tapered a bit and settled into a grinding pick for the remainder of the day. Jiggers continued to catch cod in the 6-12-pound range as well as pollock and a couple of cusk, while bait anglers caught cod and some haddock. Dogs were around but anglers who kept their bait close to the bottom were able to pull some desirable groundfish from the mix. Overall, it was a good day on the ocean, with about a 60/30/10 split of pollock, cod, and haddock, respectively. High hooks had around fifteen legal, and the pool winner was an 18-pound pollock.

Fishing continues to be the best we have seen in years. The cod continue to keep coming over the rail in good numbers. Jig and bait seem to be working well. The haddock bite continues to be very steady too. A great early season pollock bite has also added some excitement. The weekend fishing was good, but the weather wasn’t so cooperative. Half day fishing has started on the weekends. Come on up and fish with us .
