Haddock Crush

Capt. Fred Lavitman
March 28, 2010
Stellwagen Bank - Saltwater Fishing Report

70 degree weather, 1 foot seas, and all the haddock you could want and did I mention it's only March.

We shoved off at a leisurely 7am start and headed out to the northern part of Stellwagen Bank. On board was yours truly, Get Reel, Paul, and Mark. Captain Fred was home dealing with a water situation of another kind. We arrived on site appox 8am to find a slow pick of short cod in 125' of water. A short move later and we are back into the motherload of cod with doubles the norm and a few porkers mixed in. Can't wait for April 15th!!!!!!!! It's gonna be a hell of a season.

OK, cod are great but we need to get some fish in the box!!!! So off we went to some early season haddock numbers I had from past years. We pulled up a little short of the spot and NADA!!!! A short move later and we discover that familiar Stellwagen scene - Whales bubble feeding, porpoises cruising all around, sand eels shimmering on the surface and best of all HADDOCK lurking beneath it all. A nice steady pick of honker haddock continued for the next few hours with the average size around 27".

High hook of the day went to Will with this corker cod caught on a jig. All cod were caught on jigs and all haddock were caught on bait. Size and color didn't seem to matter. Tight Lines, Capt Fred

Whether you enjoy light tackle casting and jigging for bluefish and striped bass along the coast, heading to the deep offshore waters to target delicious cod and haddock, or venturing out to tangle with tackle busting bluefin tuna & monster New England sharks, you have come to the right place.
