 |
|
You know you had a great day of fishing when you wake up the next morning and your whole body is sore!! We went out of Hampton, NH on the Yellowbird and were hitting the Cod and Haddock pretty good. I personally boated about 18-20 fish of which I had 4 keeper haddock ranging from 29" to 21". I pulled in several cod none of which were keeper length and about 5-6 dogfish which were fun to catch. I caught a roughly 36" to 40" dogfish which put up a nice fight.
We were fishing in about 200' to 250' of water and the water temps were around the lower 40 deg range. It was a great day and I'll be doing it again at some point this year since I won the raffle for another free trip. I'm thinking of doing a pollock trip in August or Sept. Here's a few pics.

Great Job! Is that a private chartered boat, I was looking to go out this year as well, would you say that NH has better fishing than CT?

It is a private charter but you don't have to buy out the whole boat if that's what you are asking. It is $60 per person and $5 for rod rental on weekends.
As far as CT vs NH I would say it is two different types of fishing. It all depends on what type of fish you want to go after. If you are going after stripers or blues I wouldn't leave CT but if you want to fish deeper waters for Cod and Haddock go to NH. |

SWEEETT.
just an FYI: if you are looking for cod or haddock.. any state east or north of CT is about the same. they pretty much all go to the same general areas... or at least the same depths where the fish are...
You can get a head boat of of RI, Cape Cod, or NH, and have good days chasin cod and haddock... |

Very true. The main reason I went out of NH is because the group I went with is from central MA and they had experience with using this charter before. There were a few people I met from CT on board who always travel with this charter too. |

I hear that! I have a "favorite boat" out of RI.
No matter how you slice it... you have some fine filets in your freezer!!
Haddock is tops! |
