Re: No Haddock left

everybody knows that spot now. Until Saturday we were the only boats there. I guess that's what you get when you post you are killing the haddock and a picture of your boat. :deadhorse: As Mr. Spock said in his death scene said...."Remember!!!" Hind sight is the world's greatest teacher :!:

Re: Haddock Massacre

Capt G, when are you going to start bringing the whales in? Everyone is haddock crazy right now so I give them what they want. Whale cod are starting to come in (big hint)...personally I prefer to eat 10-15lb markets...the big ones (like you showed) make a great photo though. Believe it or not some...

Haddock Massacre

Sunday's charter on Stellwagen landed the largest catch of bull haddock that I have ever cut as a mate on any boat or as a Captain of my own. Throw in a dozen nice market cod to 15lbs and it was a day to be remembered. I cut fish all day as the bite was relentless. My four customers left the boat wi...

Re: Before the Market tanked.

Mark... I have never tried the Sato crimps...I understand they are very popular on the west coast. The only concern I would have would be if they would damage the rod eyes when passing through. Do you put something over the crimp (shrink wrap) to smooth it? I know if you get even the smallest nick i...

Re: Cod are safe today

I heard last week 4 guys came into Gloucester with a boat load of cod. The 4 DMF officers that met them at the ramp were very impressed as they wrote out their tickets and court summons :rotfl:

Price of fillets are pretty high this time of year...think I'll wait until the season opens on the first.
