Captain
Hap Farrell

Member since May 2019 Orleans, United States
Background
"I've been fishing out of Rock Harbor for almost 40 years, primarily for Striped Bass and Bluefish. Lately, I've been building my own rods for specific methods of fishing. I mostly troll for the Bass and Bluefish and I like using really light action trolling tackle when I can. I can bring you down to 2 lb test trolling tackle if you want. Captain Hap Farrell began running charters in 1980, so it's safe to say he has plenty of experience when it comes to providing incredible angling adventures out on these waters. He's local to this area and has been fishing since the age of 7. In the past, he worked at a tackle shop, where he learned how to make rods and reels. He's now proud to say that he makes all of his own gear! Capt. Hap customizes rods and reels to suit different types of fishing and different types of anglers and has customized fishing gear for every variety of angling that he now offers on his charter. Who could be better equipped to take you out on an incredible trip
Techniques
The most important thing is that Rock Harbor is a TIDAL HARBOR. Every day has a DIFFERENT sailing time. We mostly troll for the bass and bluefish and I like using really light action trolling tackle when I can. I can bring you down to 2 lb. test trolling tackle if requested.
