Lottsa Haddock

Charlie Wade · 05-22-2008, 11:19 PM

I had the pleasure of fishing today with two friends, Steve and Mark, who also happen to be brothers.

Mark, the guy on the right, is a fishing guide in Colorado and leaves on Sat. for that gig. He'll be out there until Sept. Steve really wanted to get his brother out for some groundfish before Mark takes off. Mission accomplished.

We left Green Harbor at the gentlemanly hour of 0800 and headed toward the southern end of Stellwagen. Water temps read 53.3 most of the day. Just about everyplace we tried from 150' to 180' held fish. And a few dogs. Lots of short cod, fewer than half a dozen legal cod, but the number of legal haddock (with a few really nice fish in the mix) was impressive. Couple of macks on the teasers too. All taken on jigs.

Will be out there Saturday for the donation trip.

On The Edge · 05-23-2008, 07:50 AM

Vin, Hoop and i will be out at well.

Tuna Meltdown · 05-23-2008, 08:59 AM

. But I will be fishing somewhere all 3 days this weekend.

Talk to you Sunday Vin. Good luck to all Catchem up.

I was more than happy to avoid crossing the bank and heading east to find fish with fuel prices where they are. Better enjoy this while it lasts, because once the water warms up it's a haul to get on fish like this.

Therapy -- no bait at all. Quite a few fish fell to the teasers too that included a sand eel pattern fly, grub tail, and a red tube.
