Haddock to 8.5lbs and all the market cod you want. Fishing is as good as it was in May and its much warmer on the water:tu: Some ...

Red Hot Ground Fishing

Saturday's, June 20th, charter produced some of the finest ground fishing of the season including plenty of steaker codfish, haddock to 7lbs and slammer Pollack. The bite was so furious the charter waved a white flag at Noon and decided to troll home looking for tuna along the way. No tuna were land...

This past weekend I had the pleasure of welcoming guests aboard the Lady Diane who had not previously fished with me. Both charters hailed from NY (yes we do allow Yankee fans on the boat) and in fact lived within a few miles of each other. While we did not “limit out” on cod either day (the streak ...

What are the current bag limits? The current limits are 10 cod per person per day 24" minimum length. We want the NEFMC/NMFS to accept the most current data (2001-06) as the defined period as it represents how the stock is being rebuilt and no further reductions in bag limits are necessary. Th...

Catching not Fishing

Fished on Stellwagen this weekend and found plenty of market cod and haddock for my charter guests. The bite on Sunday was so good that the guys limited out in less than 80 minutes on market cod to 12lbs. Keeper to short ratio was an excellent 4 to 1. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn281/fullstr...

Hull Zinc

A question for those that have a slip or mooring. I know that every harbor is different but how often do you find that you need to replace the hull zinc on your boat? I pulled mine after being in the water for 30 days and I can see that the zinc is working but it does not appear to be excessive. BTW...
