Here's a trip of three days for you! We had a shared charter for codfishing from Green Harbor this morning and the weather was perfect! I mean, unreal April fishing. There was no wind, sun, and the fish cooperated. I installed the new Navionics Gold card today and the detail over and above their older model was amazing. I had contour lines everywhere! The bite to end the day was AMAZING.

There was a good bite in the morning and we did well catching haddock with some keeper cod thrown in there. Then, the bite died for us. I mean, it died hard. We marked tons of bait everywhere we went and the whale show was amazing. We had whales jumping out of the water, bubble feeding, standing on their heads, and slapping their pectoral fins on the water. With unlimited visibility, it was very memorable.

To end the day, however, we had a blitz of all blitzes of keeper cod and haddock. The fishfinder was solid red from the top to bottom. We had whales all around the boat and it was something never to forget. Mike had the largest cod of the day at 10#, 2 oz. It's the largest cod of this young season. Richard caught the first dead fish ever on the Black Rose! Yes, he snagged an old cod head. Great day!

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.
