Today was a tough weather day, but the fishing action was excellent. The pouring rain in the parking lot was short-lived, thankfully. The fog was never really "thick", but it was around us for much of the day. The cruise out was smooth enough; but the ride home with the waves was done at 30+mph and it was great.

We hit the cod after trying a few spots early. And when we hit them, we hit them hard. We had all 4 customers on at once several times and there were a good deal of keepers on many of our drifts. We fished the morning in one spot on the western edge of Stellwagen Bank, and then we moved away from the crowds and really did well. We didn't catch anything too large, but the fish really jumped on the line. Once again, it was all jigging, and mostly jigging with the light tackle. Of course, now we're one rod short....I gave the casting demonstration to end all demonstrations....with my rod flying out of my hand in into the wtaer, never to be seen again!!! That was embarrassing.

What a fun time, once again and if you're interested in getting out there, drop us a line! captain@blackrosefishing.com or give me a call at 508-269-1882. Have fun 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.
