Well I guess all good things must come to an end. Last week we were doing excellent catching good sized market cod off of an area of Stellwagen Bank known as the mussels. Therr were plenty of recreational anglers along with charter boats with most recording decent catches and plenty of action. This area reopened to commercial fishing and made dropping a jig in the area challenging.
On Saturday Relentless had on board Stewart Duncun from CT who has fished with us before and was looking forward to catching some decent cod and haddock. Unfortunately the fishing was horrific and the worst day I have had in years. It was not due to a lack of effort by myself or the anglers aboard who worked their ass off trying to hook fish both on jig and bait. On the way out the bank was loaded with bluefish, very large bluefish chasing sand eels, wehre we trolled rubber shad and landed a few to put our first blues of the year on board the RELENTLESS.
Stew and his party were great to have aboard and I honestly believe knew how hard we were trying to put fish in the coolers. I tried like crazy and the numbers were very low and I appreciated them understanding.
