Fishing was slow to start but picked up strong around 10:00am after the tide change. A move a little farther north in the afternoon produced larger haddock and pollock.

Fishing  trips have had good action lately.  However the biggest issue we are having is trying our best to avoid the massive schools of Codfish that dominating most of the traditional fishing grounds.

Haddock catching has been good this week!!

Friday was action packed with some very nice haddock caught.  We are still culling through a lot of Cod that we carefully return to the water alive.

We are experiencing some great haddock fishing right now.  However the schools of (out of season) Cod are growing in numbers and size of the fish.  It is not uncommon to drift into a large school of cod on any given day.   They are taking over some areas and causing us to avoid those areas completely.

Great day of Haddock fishing on Saturday.  The haddock are being caught on bait with a simple rig consisting of hook and sinker.  Teasers are not working.  Just a simple baited hook is what is catching Haddock.

Anglers had to work hard at the fishing today because the tide was strong and the lines had a bad angle.  But it paid off and we caught some nice Haddock again.

Boston Harbor striped bass fishing season is starting off right where it left off last year. The fishing today was incredible. Lots of action. Lots of fish and big fish. Live bait and artificial baits are both getting the job done. A quadruple hook up lead to these fish. A quick photo and released unharmed. … 2023 Boston Striped Bass Fishing seaso...

A slow start to the morning but we ended the day strong with a lot of nice Haddock.

The Haddock have been biting very lightly.  Its best to hold the rod in 2 hands.  One hand on the butt of the rod and one hand in front of the reel.  When you feel the slightest tap tap tap bring your front hand up as you drop your back and down in one quick motion.

The 12 hour marathon trip produced a lot of action with Haddock and Pollock.

Monday the water was flat calm so the fish were persnickety again.  But we got some nice big ones.

Fish started to make beds then a cold front came in causing them to move right off the edges of the spawning flats this coming week they should be all over the place up shallow!

Haddock fishing was productive on Friday although the Cod were quite hungry as well.
