Well, many, many more fish today as we fished mostly on the top of Stellwagen Bank. Our cod and haddock trip left from Green Harbor and we headed north today...There was a ton of life on Stellwagen and the cod and haddock were very cooperative. Of course, lots of these fish were small, but we did have a great flurry of cod and haddock that were mostly keepers. We bailed fish like those for almost 2 hours! The rest of the day was spent culling through loads of small fish and moving around from school to school looking for a group of bigger fish.

The weather was perfect and it was great just cruising around at 30+ mph. I love days like that. When the fishing slowed down, we ended up in deeper water and started hitting the red fish pretty well--we didn't let it go on too much--we were there to catch cod and haddock, so we headed back to the Northern edge of Stellwagen Bank and that's when the keepers started coming over the rails quickly. Good call, Ed!

The new second bow rail and pulpit are finally operational and the platform for fishing on the front of the boat is wonderful! It's great for jigging, but it will be amazing for running-and-gunning for tuna come tuna season! See you soon out there!

Bio: I'm Capt. Rich Antonino and I specialize in small private charters in Massachusetts from April-November. We fish for cod/haddock from Green Harbor and Plymouth. We fish Buzzards Bay for sea bass, porgy(scup), fluke, stripers/blues. We love shark fishing and tuna fishing and our boat is perfect for that. It's fast--we cruise at over 30 mph and can hit 40 mph. The boat has a full cabin and more fishing space than most 6-packs! We have a blast.
