    We are beginner anglers and had a fantastic time. Captain Cooney took us straight to the fish and when the fish stopped biting at the first location, we were straight to the second where the fish were plentiful. Went home with more than a full catch.

    Our family had an absolutely incredible time on the F/V Meredith Jean! Captain Matt and deckhand Cody provided a top-tier fishing excursion from start to finish. Captain Matt knows these waters perfectly and put us right on the fish, ensuring everyone in the family caught something exciting. Cody was fantastic as the deckhand—incredibly helpful, patient, and great with the family. He kept the gear ready and shared awesome tips that made a huge difference. The boat was clean, safe, and fully equipped for a perfect day on the water. If you are looking for an amazing charter experience in Gloucester, we cannot recommend Captain Matt and Cody highly enough! We will definitely be back.

    My husband 2 of our sons went for a 6 hour morning trip. My guys said the crew was great! They took them right to the fish! They caught Haddock & Pollock! We have plenty for the freezer. Staying close by was convenient for the early start. They want to go back this fall and do some tuna fishing! Highly recommend!!

    Father-son fishing trip

    Brad and Brenden made it an awesome experience for my 12 year old son and I. They kept us on the fish and clearly know what they are doing. We caught 7+ different species and enjoyed our time out on the water. We’d highly recommend the Fishbucket!

    Awesome day of fishing!!

    Booked a charter with Capt. Derek for 4 guys fishing cod and haddock. It was a huge success!! Very knowledgeable guy. As soon as we put bait in the water we had fish on. Kept consistently catching fish all day. Boat was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking to have a great time on the water and bring home some filets. Thanks again!!

    Great day for groundfish!

    First time out with those captain, and I took two guys with me who had never been deep sea fishing. Captain in first mate, very knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to interact with. Captain Derrick dealt well and vigilantly with the potential for some rough seas, and we all had a great time. Well, hopefully join him again.

About Haddock fishing

Size
2 to 7lbs
Food Value
Excellent
Game Quality
Low

Haddock is a cold‑water Groundfish known for mild, flaky white meat and steady action. Many anglers target Haddock for fun, fast bites and great table fare. It looks like Cod, with a dark lateral line and a “thumbprint” spot near the pectoral fin.

Most Haddock fishing uses bottom fishing on sand, gravel, or shell. Skippers drift or anchor and present natural bait near the seafloor. Clams, shrimp, squid strips, cut herring, and sand eels work well. Simple high‑low rigs and small jigs tipped with bait are common. Light to medium tackle helps you feel subtle bites and set hooks cleanly.

Expect a relaxed, numbers‑based trip with schools and steady nibbles. This suits first‑timers, kids, and anyone who enjoys constant action. Haddock often hold in cooler, deeper water, so plan for a boat ride and brisk wind. Bring warm layers, non‑slip shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. A small cooler and freezer bags help you bring fillets home where allowed. If you are prone to seasickness, consider medication before leaving the dock.

Before any Haddock fishing trip, check local rules. Confirm if you need a fishing license or permit. Review open seasons, closed areas, and harvest limits where you fish. Regulations change, and the captain will follow the latest rules. When in doubt, ask about release and measuring practices to stay compliant.
