Slow Day

April, 20th 2012

Well, it was one of those days where things just don' quite work out like they should. On Friday the Andy Andrews party from New Jersey fished aboard RELENTLESS. Unfortunately the day was slow not only for us but many other boats also. By the days end the guys did have a great time according to Andy and appreciated how hard the crew worked. We hope to have this crew back again one day to show them today was just a fluke.

I wish the day went better with more fish being caught but it was not without a lack of effort from this charter and the crew. I am sure the fishing will improve soon. I do want to thank Andy and his crew for fishing with us and look forward to seeing them again one day aboard RELENTLESS

The Girls Place

April, 18th 2012

On April 18th we had the Sharon Garton party of four aboard from New Jersey. Sharon knows a thing or two about fishing as she owns a very large bait and tackle store in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey. Sharon has fished with us before and joining her on this trip were Pat, Tammy and Laurie. This was going to be Tammy's first trip who was the outsider living in Rhode Island. The weather was a little windy but a nice morning which provided plenty of action for the girls. Unfortunately many of the fish were just under the legal limit of 24" and were thrown back to swim another day.

Throughout the day the girls jigged and jigged and jigged and worked the rods as hard as anyone I have seen on a trip putting some cod numbers in the box. They were not the numbers we were hoping for but everyone was having a good day aboard RELENTLESS and it was not lack of effort on my part, making several moves and dedicated anglers on board.

Laurie is all business as she reels in one of her many codfish she jigged up aboard RELENTLESS on this Stellwagen Bank fishing trip

Later we switched over to some of those New Jersey sea clams that Sharon brought from her shop and the haddock could not resist them.

The fishing could have been better but with a southwest breeze blowing 15 and gusting to 20 knots, these girls did a fantastic job and fished hard all day. At the end of the day Sharon inquired about a tuna and groundfish combination trip once those jumbo pollock move in during the summer. I would like to personally thank them for fishing aboard RELENTLESS and hope they have a great season with the bait shop and while taking time to fish back home.

Shared COD TRIP

April, 16th 2012

With the anticipation of the 2012 cod season over Captain Curt and Capt Jerry headed offshore this morning and before getting to the grounds they found the renovations to the RELENTLESS were well worth the time. The boat is a little faster and runs much smoother which will be a big plus come tuna season. Fishing on this shared trip was Long time customers Bernie and Neil along with Ray and his friend. Also joining them was repeat customer John Montgomery who brought his wife Kelly aboard for this one.

John and Kelly are very happy today aboard the RELENTLESS fishing for cod and haddock on Stellwagen Bank

Fishing the edges of Stellwagen Bank the day started slow but ended with a bang as the crew put near legal limits of cod in the box along with redfish, polllock and a couple of haddock. Thanks guys for the shake down and it was a good way to start the 2012 season.

With the beginning of the season now here don't wait to book a trip as dates are filling fast. Also the tuna regulations are out and anglers will be allowed to land two bluefin per day on a charter up to 73". It should be an exciting tuna season, so plan now for the best dates. You can also book a combination tuna and groundfish or striped bass if you wish to have a chance at several species in a single trip.
