All Day Open Boat Trip

May 20th - All Day Open Boat

Wind: Light and variable - FOGGY!!!

Greetings from the Gloucester Fleet command post here in West Gloucester, Ma. Todays trip was a 7-4 Open Boat and it went well! The wind was almost non existent and the tide was minimal so all in all the conditions were pretty good for fishing.
After steaming almost 2 hours, Capt Marco decided on a spot and we started our day. We ended up anchoring all day and our average depth was right around 200ft. The bite started out slow in the morning for the first two stops but improved as the day went on.

A steady bite of Cod and Haddock all day meant everyone went home with some nice bags of fish. Also, we had quite a few Pollock and Cusk as well. I'll take a mixed bag of fish any day! Our next trip is a charter on Thursday and the weather looks great.

We have some mechanical and cosmetic projects to finish this week and then we're pretty much busy until September.

Our busy season is upon us so if you're interested in a charter or an open boat trip make sure you call the office @ 978-559-1978 and book your choice date now!

Suffolk University Deep Sea Fishing!

PM Half Day Charter

Wind: East-Sou'east 5-10 knts COLD

Man, is summer ever going to show up? This cold windy weather is for the birds! Anyway, we had a group of 20 graduating Seniors from Suffolk University. Once again the weather decided not to cooperate but at least it wasnt windy. Rain was the name of the game and it was cold too so a lot of them took shelter in the cabin and warmed up with some Bud Light.

We steamed about an hour and anchored up all day on the inshore grounds. The tide was screaming again so drifting was out of the question but we managed to snag some nice Cod when it wasnt pouring.

The day ended up being a good time for the people and I'm sure we'll have some of them come back this summer. The fishing inside has really been better in the last few years. 10 yrs ago you were lucky if you caught anything on a Half Day but now we do a lot better.

I dont agree with most of the Government science since its been proven to be extremely flawed and that flawed research is what determines size regulations on all of our ground fish in the Northeast, but when we 're catching fish in areas that didnt produce any fish previously, it gives me hope.

Things are looking up: The weather looks bad through mid-week but thursday through sunday look good. Our trips are Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday and theyre filling up quick.

Friday is our "special" day so call the office and book that trip. We have 13 spots left for friday.

Call 978-559-1978 and book your trip NOW.

A Full Day of Deep Sea Fishing and Fun!

Friday, 7-4 All Day Trip

Winds: Northeast 10-15 knts

Another trip in the books! Capt Marco was at the wheel today and we decided to switch things up a bit. We ended up going over some fish while we we're steaming out to where we were planning on going anyway. We anchored up in about 180 ft and caught a few codfish but nothing stellar so we decided to move on and steam the rest of the way. We ended up about 20 miles offshore and the tide was a problem all day but we managed to make a day out of it.

There was some nice Cod and some haddock but the fishing this spring has been steady but not perfect. The weather has definitely been a problem too. Its been blowing Northeast for a week now and it shows no sign of letting up. The weather this week looks the same and after or during a blow like this, the fishing can either turn off or on at the drop of a dime. I think that's been the problem all spring. But summer is coming and im hoping for the fishing to pick up.

The pool winner was a 13 LB cod and everyone left happy which is all we care about. You dont have to catch fish to have a good time but it sure the hell helps!

May Day Deep Sea Fishing with Gloucester Fleet

Wow, we caught a beating today on the way out! Nor'east 20-25 is a great way to start the day. We had Capt Marco at the wheel today and we decided to go in a completely different direction and man did it pay off!  We sat in the same spot for almost 4 hours before we had to move the boat. We generally fished in about 170 ft and that was the magic depth. 90% of the fish that were caught were Cod and Haddock and we finally had some numbers to work with.

The wind was too much so drifting was out of the question so we had to anchor up today and we got to test the new pulpit setup as well .It works great! No more swinging on the anchor and the boat sits great over the spots! All in all this was def the best day we've had so far. We ended up staying on good fishing  all day and everyone went home with coolers full of fish.

The pool winner was a 15 lb cod. Next trip is Wedn. and i'll have more reports when I can.

Bachelor Party Fishin'

April 30, 2011 - 3/4 Day 7:00 am - 1:00 pm
Winds 10-15 knts, 52 degrees

So, today felt a lot more like spring than yesterday. It was chilly! We had a charter today for a bachelor party with 17 ppl and we decided to give Middlebank one more chance before we broke off from the pack of boats and went searching. The old rule is 'you don't leave fish to find fish'  and it looked like we were going to be leaving soon...

We were able to drift all day again with minimal tide and tangles in a round 130 ft. We had a good mix of Cod and Haddock with a few Sculpin mixed in. The bite was slow and picked up towards the afternoon but it still wasn't what we were looking for. Still a lot of boats and not enough fish to deal with the headaches. We ended up having a great time with these guys and the ones that didn't catch fish definitely caught a buzz!!!
One more trip tomorrow and I think we're going hunting. We have a full boat but the weather doesn't look great. Nor'east 15-20 gust to 25 knts so we'll see what happens. More when I can.


More to come so check back soon. In the meantime, take a look at our website for more photos and trip stories.
