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.

More big Hake!
Weather was perfect!
Check out the pictures from last weekends overnight, as you can see the weather was beautiful and the fish were hungry! Thanks Captain Zappa for the pictures!

Columbus Day Weekend Fishing
- 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.

The Yankee Freedom just returned from a gorgeous weekend overnight trip! Capt Tom reported that the sunset bite was slow on this trip and
Ron G.!
usually they get one good night bite; this trip it was very slow fishing thru the night. The moon phase might have been a factor in the slow fishing but who’s to really know what those little fish are thinking! At sunrise the bite seemed to pick up and throughout Sunday the fishing really picked up. The last stop of the day being the most successful with a great pick of market size Cod, Haddock, Cusk and some big fat Hake! There were also 5 large Wolf-fish caught and released, what a bummer to send the tasty catch back to the sea! Next overnight is this Thurs. to Fri. and we also have a weekend overnight Sat to Sun. and please remember Capt Tom wants you to save a turkey and stuff a Haddock!

Yesterdays amazing weather made for a perfect day out on the water except that the fishing was not quite up to par with the weather! Well sometimes you can’t have everything folks!We had two all day boats and a half-day head out Saturday morning to calm seas, warm temps and sunny skies; The Half day had a handful of Red Fish, some Hake and a Haddock. The Patriot faired better with a slow pick of mixed species and a 10lb pool winning Cod. The Clipper did the best out of all the boats but that might have had to do with the fact the boat was loaded with some of our best, seasoned anglers! They had a

Monday started out with a slow pick on the anchor in the morning Capt Josh reported it was a multi-species bite with the jigs doing well for catching Pollock. They made a shift in the afternoon to a different area and had a nice bite of mostly Cod for the remainder of the day.
Tuesday’s conditions were a tad on the windy side, The Clipper made a stop into the wind for a few fish in the morning than as the conditions improved they made a long drift that produced a steady pick. The wind never the less kicked up again causing Capt. Josh to move on to another area were the jigs produced a quality bite of Cod and Pollock.

The Yankee Clipper headed out for the day. Due to rough conditions the fishing was tough. The catch was a slow pick. As conditions are forcasted to improve towards the mid to end of the week trips are running everyday. We hope to see improvement with the better weather.

Weather was a bit challenging and the catch was fair, with a mix of cod, haddock and pollock.
The Yankee Clipper anchored at the stops and anglers worked hard due to conditions.
Trips are sailing everyday through December! Reservations are suggested and don’t forget about our Minuteman Club!
Overnights are still running through the end of October. This trip is a bang for your buck! If you haven’t tried it yet, you should. We depart at 10pm on Thursdays and return at 6pm on Fridays. We also run the Double Dip Overnight geared for our WEEKEND ANGLERS, that departs at 3pm on Saturday and returns at 2pm on Sunday. Double your cod catch limit on both of these trips!

The Fish Do Bite at Night
Nice Fish
Save a Turkey! Stuff a Haddock!
Plenty of Fishing Room
The Yankee Patriot took
the Wed. crew out to another fair fall day of fishing. Mate George Sr, reported that the fishing was “ok. Some people got ‘em, some didn’t.” The lucky one that caught them yesterday was one of the regulars Jim Fogg, he reeled in a 24lb Cod to win the pool. ( Isn’t this the second week in a row as pool winner, Jim? Must be a lucky streak , we know it is has nothing to do with skill !!!!!! Just kidding Jim!)

Red Sky At Night Sailors Delight...
The last full weekend in Sept. surprised us all by being one of the most beautiful weather and sea condition weekends of the year! Saturday we had two all day boats head out in the early morning fog; soon that broke to sunny skies and warm temperatures. Both The Yankee Patriot and The Yankee Clipper had very successful day trips, reporting fair fishing and a steady bite of Cod, Haddock and some nice Pollock. But…. it is advisable not to fall overboard, those shadows lurking under the boat are not big Cod! The Blue sharks enjoyed taking “little” nibbles off our anglers catch as they were reeled in,( Blue Sharks love fresh fish too)!
The overnight came back Monday late afternoon with some very heavy coolers. Capt Tom reported steady fishing all throughout the trip with a good mix of species Cod, Cusk, Haddock and some nice size Pollock. Remember the first weekend overnight of the fall is this week Oct. 1 - 2 leaving at 3pm Sat. returning Sun. at 2pm ( just in time for the Pats game! ) 1-855-5go-fish
