 Earlier in the week we took out anglers Willy Goldsmith of Brookline, MA and Ron Munafo of Wrentham, MA who had great days. Ron caught several large fish up to 25 LBS using his two speed Shimano reel while Willy was the angler of the week catching a cod over 50 LBS on his 16th Birthday.       -Capt. Dave Waldrip |

Through out the day, this foursome of fishermen landed large pollock, cod and haddock. These fine gentleman, originally from Russia, treated Captain Dave and his son Shaun the mate to some great authentic Russian food including sausage.      RELENTLESS will continue to fish throughout the winter offering both shared and private charters. If you are interested in going on one of these trips, please contact Captain Dave at (781) 871-2113. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |
     RELENTLESS still has dates open for fishing this fall and is now accepting reservations for next springs Stellwagen Bank Cod fishing. If you are interested in fishing, contact Captain Dave at (781) 871-2113. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |

  Please take a look at the photos of the guys with their catches and I apologize for not inserting the names of the gentleman. It has been a few long weeks with the rain and cold.  Fishing has been steady with a good mix of pollock, cod and haddock coming over the rails. The fish have not been like the large steakers we landed during the month of March but they are excellent eating.  Most of the fish were landed on jigs with many of the haddock falling to bait. Some days marking fish under the boat that just won't eat can make the crew a little crazy.  Now that we have 90 degree tempertures, it shouldn't be long before the school tuna arrive along with the many species of sharks we have in the wasters surrounding Massachusetts Bay.   We have plenty of openings for all types of fishing so please give us a call to reserve your next fishing escape with Nautical Adventure Charters. The crew of RELENTLESS wishes you tight lines and a great summer. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |
  Most of the fish were caught in the morning and we later headed to the north to fish one of my favorites spots. With flat calm seas we started landing cod to 20 lbs. as well as some real large haddock. This kept our mate Stan Gaskin, who is also one great fisherman himself, busy throughout the entire day filleting the catch. This group of guys knew how to fish and before leaving, stated they would be back again for another great day on the water.   Once again, thanks to all of the parties that have fished with us this year. If you are interested in bringing home some nice cod fish, we currently have a few openings for shared charters. Also, we are now booking striped bass charters with four hour, five hour, six hour and all day trips available. Give us a call today to book your next charter aboard RELENTLESS. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |
  Being in the shallow water, most of the fish were not exceptionally large. However, with their determination and skill, these anglers landed plenty of fish to provide several decent meals back home.    Bill Stebbins who almost missed the boat -Capt. Dave Waldrip |
 Fishing aboard RELENTLESS were Adam Sosato of Beverly, MA and his brother Drew from Brooklyn, CT as well as their friend Matt Brown of Putnum, CT. (The captain must apologize for not taking any photos of Adam or Drew and the nice fish they caught during the day.) The other half of the party was Rich Caruso and Neil Westkott of Narragansett, RI and Will Litvin of Wakefield, RI.  Fishing South of Stellwagen Bank, the cod were chasing herring and sand eels along with the whales who provided a show for these anglers. A move later in the day to the deep water provided action with larger cod and haddock in flat clam seas.  It was another great day aboard RELENTLESS with these anglers and we hope to see them back again for another day on the water. We still have space available for shared codfish charters and private bass, cod, shark and school bluefin tuna charters. If interested please give us a call or send an e-mail. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |

Fishing aboard RELENTLESS today was Bob Kelley, Wethersfield, CT and his Son Sean. Joining them was John Bezdelous, Rocky Hill, CT, Jerry Edison also of Wethersfield and Al Hartt of Manchester, CT. The day started out cool and rainy but by days end the sun was shining on a happy group of anglers.  Fishing the Eastern edge of the bank landing a few keeper haddock and codfish along with many small undersize fish, RELENTLESS made a move to the south east where we found much marine life with whales, porpoises and many species of birds including gannets feeding on the sand eels which have recently shown on the bank.   Dave and his mate Mike had a great day with this charter and hope to see them back aboard for another trip in the future.   We still have space available for shared codfish charters and private bass, cod, shark and school bluefin tuna charters. If interested please give us a call or send an e-mail. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |

RELENTLESS conducted a charter for Rhode Island Saltwater Angler Association members Bob Masse, Gary Perschau, Charlie Bradbury, Mark Macko and Rene Blanchette all from Rhode Island. Fishing the eastern edge of Stellwagen Bank the group caught codfish and haddock to 15 lbs. on bait and jigs.    -Capt. Dave Waldrip

 On Wednesday, April, 23rd, RELENTLESS conducted a shared charter with two groups aboard. Jim Volpe and Jules Silvis from Mass Striped Bass Association and the south shore area joined Captain Fred Bowman and his good friend Peter from Newport. We fished the waters east and northeast of the BE Buoy with the fishing being a little slow. Jules managed to land the largest cod of the day around 15 lbs with Captain Fred picking up fish on bait. Everyone did manage to go home with fillets for the freezer. Unfortunately, we did not reach our legal limits on this day.  On Friday, April 25th, RELENTLESS had aboard Scott Bucholz and his party of six from the Wurtsboro, NY area. These guys are serious fisherman and hunters who go on many trips together. The fishing was a little slow but with a good bite using clams on the shoal water in the early morning hours this group caught cod and wolf fish to 14 lbs allowing them to go home satisfied with enough fillets to last for a while. They had a great time and look forward to scheduling another cod fishing trip aboard RELENTLESS next fall.  -Capt. Dave Waldrip

 Early in the morning the bite was slow as we fished the shoal water using jigs on the southern portion of the bank. The fishing certainly picked up when we headed east into deeper water. The larger fish gulped down the New Jersey surf clams these guys had brought aboard. It was quite obvious theses guys knew how to fish. Ted White is a captain himself and owns and runs a charterboat out of Barneget Light, NJ fishing for Blues and Sea Bass from April through December.     Hopefully the weather will cooperate for the coming week with several charters scheduled and anglers coming from throughout New England. RELENTLESS has openings available for both private and shared charters. If interested, please give us a call or send an e-mail. -Capt. Dave Waldrip |
