Fresh Gloucester Fishing Reports

Fishing has been very good. Yesterday we had a bass blitz. A giant school of big stripers were off Gloucester . We took advantage of it. We were using live and chunk no matter. Bass were hungry. We caught many big bass most over the slot. The crew didn't want to keep any, that was fine. Had one fish that we got a look at before the hook pulled was a jumbo. Mackerel fishing is also been good, when you get on them plenty to be had. Haddock are plentiful and reasonably close to shore. Plenty of keepers in the 21-24 inch class. Delicious. Had a cod come up with a big porbeagle shark behind it!!!! Aeesome sight to see. Tuna also has been good with a reasonable number of rec fish available a really good number. Come join us for a day of fun

Trip started normally - went through the boat safety talk. The guy were a riot. Off to the tuna grounds half eay we see the eayer boiling .we stop Just amazing, eater is slive with fish Set out yhe bait rogs instant hook up 3 rods 3 macs at a time . Had plenty of bait in 5inutes. Bait fishing is really crazy fun. Off again on the horizon whale blows then splashing fish omg! Few boats around we set up Drop three lines out Whales next to the boat,boils of fish, crill everywhere. Line goes tight we are on. Fish circles deep the guys do s great job. Fish come a little green but right at the stern close . Capt put a harpoon in it ,pulls it in on goes the tail rope . Nice rec fish about 200lbs Cool it down in the boat .!!!!!!!! On ice it goes . Back to fishing. Hour later rod goes off fight is on. Hook pulls??? Back to fishing. Ahain snout sn hour rod hors off again!!!!? The guy do s great job. After about 30 minutes bring the fish in looks too big to keep quick measure too big. We swim it releasd in good shape with a tag We hook up again. This time a double the fish get twisted together lines got cut by each other. What fun. Mever saw a the likes of a great trip like today Ps they caught 11 big haddock ehile bait fishing!!!!

Striper headed home for the grill with everyone! Absolute mayhem on the deck today, with non stop action at every turn. An excellent way to soend fathers day with some great dads.

Storms the night before seemed to scatter the bait. No luck with mackerel early, so headed off looking for schools of bunker. The rain looked to have pushed them off-shore as well. Finally found a good school of Macks off the gloucedter humps. Loaded the baitwell and set ip for stripers. The action was fast a consistent, with 8 fish landed in 90 minutes - several over slot.

Large schools of pogies/bunker are passing vlose by Gloucester. We are seeing cow stripers aggressively feeding from underneath. Snagging and live lining ate the tickets. Remember, recreation anglers can keep one fish a piece, and the slot limit continues to be 28-31”.

Left little later than usual, guest had a long drive in, all good. Steamed out to catch bait good chop and mixed up sea put a guest down. We did get a bunch of macs . Headed toeard calm waters. First stop no so good second stop one bass and two hit Third spot. Game on. Drifted over the ledge hit every time .Got a bunch out the ledge of good size. One fish hit a bait four time the last it tasted a hook . Really fat bass. Greatbjob by comletely novice anglers. Thank you for a great trip.
