    Captain Matt was friendly, helpful and completely knowledgeable about the area, gear and fish. We had great conversations and he made it fun. We got a nice haul of Haddock. Lyla Rose was clean, and we had plenty of space to move around and fish. Captain Matt was quick with the gaff and baiting and we just had a great time and will absolutely rebook with Captain Matt on the Lyla Rose!

About Red Hake fishing

Size
2 to 6 lbs
Food Value
Average
Game Quality
Low

Red Hake fishing gives you a tasty, steady-action target. Red Hake are Groundfish known for soft, white fillets and a reliable bite. They hold near the bottom over sand, mud, shell beds, and wrecks. Many anglers love them because they are great for the table and fun on light tackle.

You will usually catch Red Hake by bottom fishing or drift fishing. Simple rigs work best. A two-hook high-low rig with bank sinkers keeps baits near the bottom. Fresh bait is key. Squid strips, clams, and cut bait all draw quick bites. Slow jigging with small metal jigs or teasers can also work when fish are active. Use light to medium spinning or conventional tackle so you can feel soft bites.

Expect a relaxed, hands-on trip with frequent bites when a school moves in. The fight is steady rather than fast, which makes this great for kids and first-timers. Many crews fish at night or during low light when Red Hake feed more. Bring warm layers, a hat, and non-slip shoes. Pack sunscreen, a small cooler with ice for fillets, and motion-sickness meds if needed. Listen to your captain on handling soft mouths so fish do not shake off.

Rules for Red Hake can change by area. Before your trip, check local fishing license and permit needs. Always review current seasons, harvest rules, and gear guidelines for the waters you plan to fish. Your captain will explain what is allowed, but you are responsible for knowing local regulations.
