Welcome to my fishing update report
The Striped Bass showed up in mass, have not seen so
many this early in the season. Also we are seeing a lot of Gannets
close to shore, normally they appear in the Fall when the mackerel
are close to shore migrating south. These are birds that dive bomb
into the ocean from a hundred feet in the air to get their meal
diving as deep as 60 feet.

Deep sea fishing for cod and haddock
has been excellent with anglers catching mostly cod. We have had to
pick our days, some days we could not get out to fish due to the
weather, wind and high seas.
Going out on Monday to see if there
are any mackerel and striped bass around. Heard that the mac's have
just started to show. There are plenty of small fish, great
for fly fishing. If you tie small deceivers with weighted eyes, will
do the trick.

Striped bass have arrived in force.
Went out in the morning and put a few mackerel in the live well.
Started trolling and bang two solid hook ups at the same time. Both
fish were 36" long.
5/25/2010 Cod fishing trip
We had a great day on the ocean
fishing for Cod and the men ended up with forty fish to take home
for the freezer. Also had several Haddock.

Took four sports out on a half day
trip and they had done very well. The stripers were in the over 40"
range, they kept two fish for fillets to have on the grill. They had
caught several nice fish and released most.

Just couldn't miss catching stripers
on this nice morning. The four people that had chartered the
half day trip had a bonanza catching over a dozen fish all over 38",
they couldn't believe the great day that they were having.

Fishing for striped bass has been
very exciting with a lot of big fish being taken. Today's charter of
three people had caught seven fish in four hours of fishing, the
size of the fish were between 40" - 47 inches. There are plenty of
mackerel around that we use them for live bait.

This cod fish charter with four
people on board did very well limiting out with cod and several were
over 20lbs. The fishing took place on Stellwagon Bank just twelve
miles off our coast of which is loaded with sea life from cod,
stripers, sharks to humpback whales feeding on sand eels.

Have been very busy with charters and
haven't had time to write reports. Took out four regulars that come
three to four times a year today. These guys always have fun fishing
with no pressure to catch fish, just to have a good time. They each
boarded fish and released four of the five fish caught.
6/28/2010
Offered to take along a person that
is on a fishing website that I frequent. Sent him a private message
about going and he accepted. Well, it turned out to be a great trip
for him. We had caught five fish in an hour and a half. He had
caught four of the five fish and the only reason that he did not
catch the fifth fish was we had a double on at the same time and I
had to take the second rod.

My regulars showed up once again and
I made believers out of them that it was better to troll then to be
anchored. This morning out of the three fellas fishing two had all
the glory. These are the guys that usually only keep one fish. The
third guy was new and after keeping the first fish caught they were
going to release the second fish when the new guy wanted to keep
one, so now they had two keepers. After releasing the third and
fourth fish the new guy wanted to know how many fish could be kept,
which is two per person. Up comes the fifth striper and the
new guy still had not caught a fish he wanted to take home a second
fish. As all three were discussing releasing the fish the new guy
says, "I have one on the line," one person says he can keep the one
he reels in and they released the newly caught fish, well, sure
enough he lost the fish that he was reeling in and went home with
the one striper.
