COD TRIP June 13, 2009 On Saturday, RELENTLESS ran one of it’s shared open boat charters with Brice June from upstate New York bringing his father with him. Also joining them was Jeff Staples from western, MA and his friend Jeff and Bob Johnson from CT, a long time RELENTLESS customer. The day was perfect with sunny skies and light wind making conditions great for the early departure off the dock at Green Harbor in Marshfield, MA. After steaming out to the Bank, Captain Curt stopped the boat and the jigs and teasers were sent to the bottom, where immediately everyone became tight with large market sized cod and a few steakers mixed in. For the next three hours it was non stop fishing landing nice cod, haddock, pollock and wolf fish which were eager to inhale jigs and teasers. This kept Jerry our mate who is also a USCG licensed captain busy filleting all of the way back to the dock. At the end of the day when this group of fisherman who were on the open boat charter went home they each had over 50 LBS of fillets in the cooler of iced down fish for friends and family members. Each of them stated they would be back again and we look forward to seeing them again this summer. As the owner and captain of RELENTLESS Charters I want to thank them for their patronage and hope they enjoy the fish. The cod, haddock, pollock and tuna are all here now and it is a good time to get out on a charter and do some great fishing. These fish are around all season and not just in the spring as some folks believe. Call us to schedule one of these trips. Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 30, 2009 It was another excellent trip aboard RELENTLESS on Saturday, May 30th with repeat customer Patrick Lynch coming aboard with his friends from western MA. These guys did well limiting out on quality sized codfish for the freezer by the end of the day. All fish were on jigs and teasers providing great action especially with large market sized doubles coming over the rails at a rapid pace. Jerry was busy running the show on deck and filleted all the way back to Green Harbor. RELENTLESS sails out of Green Harbor, MA and has several good dates available for both cod and haddock or tuna fishing. We also run a great combination trip if you want a solid chance to go home with both cod, haddock and fresh sushi all on the same trip. Have a great day and thanks Pat for stepping aboard once again. I hope you and the guys consider a pollock slam charter where we can fill the box with big pollock and get some bull haddock on the same trip. Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 29, 2009 It just keeps getting better and better every day fishing on Stellwagen Bank and customers could not be any happier. Today friend and repeat customer JR Carlow from RI fished on board RELENTLESS with his party of six including his father and had another fantastic day. Leaving Green Harbor in Marshfield, MA Capt Curt left the dock early and headed offshore to Stellwagen Bank. As soon as the first jig hit the bottom the words “fish on” were yelled and it was non stop action all day. These fish could not resist the diamond and Norwegian jigs with teasers placed in front of their face in around 130 feet of water. The bait was thick once again helping set the stage for some fantastic fishing. The fish were mostly markets with a few steakers mixed in providing fillets for several friends and family members. Filleting took place all the way home filling coolers with lots of iced down fillets. By the end of the day this group limited out on quality sized cod fish, along with a few haddock and a couple of dozen mackerel for the smoker. JR was already booked for a fall trip and added a third at the end of the day. Thanks to JR and his crew for coming aboard once again and fishing on board Relentless. We have several days available for shared and private charters if you want to get in on some great fishing action on Stellwagen Bank aboard the RELENTLESS. We promise lots of effort to send you home with bags of fillets for the freezer. If you are interested, please get a hold of us by e-mail or phone.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 24, 2009 On Sunday May 24th, Captain Dave left the dock at 0400 taking out the same group of anglers as the previous days trip with the exception of Al Fichera who had a family commitment. Taking his place was repeat customer Pete Frackelton from MA. We arrived at the bank at 0600 and what a day it was. Our first drift put 40 market sized cod fish in the box and by 0730 we had our limit of cod. The deck was busy with Jerry running around along with myself gaffing and bleeding fish at a rapid pace. We left the area and headed to deeper water looking for haddock and ended up catching 15 LB codfish which we had to throw back. We ended the day with 70 nice cod and 18 haddock making it one very productive day fishing aboard RELENTLESS. Jerry did a great job filleting the fish on the way home sending them home with some very high quality iced and bled fillets for the freezer for friends and family. These guys had two great days of fishing and we will see them again in a few weeks as they all fish numerous times with us on different trips. I just want to say thanks to each one of them for fishing with us again and being not only customers but good friends.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 23, 2009 On Memorial Day weekend every year, repeat customer and long time friend Bernie Thomas books the boat for Saturday and Sunday bringing with him a great group of guys. These include John and Anthony who travel up from Long Island, Al Fichera from Taunton and Jeff Reis from New Hampshire. On Saturday Capt Curt took the group out and had a great day limiting out on market sized cod which were feeding aggressively on sand lance and could not resist a sand eel imitation teaser along with the jigs. Captain Curt limited out on this day and found a few haddock in the mix also. They went home with good size bags of fillets for friends and family at the end of the day. The group hit the dock around 3:00 PM making plans for the following morning. During the evening myself and Curt met them for dinner in Rockland, MA just across the street from the hotel where they stay. It was not a late night as we had a 0400 departure the following morning.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 22, 2009 Stepping aboard for his annual spring trip was repeat customer Stew Duncun and his friends from CT. Fishing with Capt Curt after an early morning start due to the tides, they found the fish eagerly biting both jigs and teasers non stop, filling the fish box quickly. It was another great day of fishing aboard RELENTLESS sending everyone home with near legal limits of cod for the freezer. Stew has been a great customer over the years and we hope to get him back out again this season for another trip. Thanks Stew, your patronage is appreciated and I hope your families enjoyed eating the fresh fillets of cod you brought home.     Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 16, 2009 Things have been busy on board RELENTLESS and at times it seems it is hard to keep up with the fishing reports. On Saturday, July 16th we had repeat customer Al Cheskey from CT on board fishing with his friends. If anyone has ever met Al before, you know he goes by the name of “Big Al”. We know when he is aboard because everything on board is labeled “Big AL’ including his Bruins Jersey. Throughout the day this group did well landing market sized cod only 15 miles from the dock reaching their legal limits of good size eating fish providing everyone with plenty of fillets for the freezer. Big AL will be returning again in the fall to land those big pollock, cod, haddock and ground fish along with a shot at school tuna. Thanks for the great day guys and we look forward to seeing you again.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 9, 2009 On Sunday, long time customer and friend Bernie Thomas came aboard with his sons and friends catching well over 300 codfish in order to get their legal limit of cod and some nice haddock on jigs. Most of the throw backs were between 22" and 24" providing lots of action but unfortunately had to go back over the side. At the end of the day everyone was smiling and once again we will see Bernie for two more days on his annual Memorial Day weekend trip where he and others come every year and fish back to back. Thank you Bernie, I just can't say enough what fun it is having you aboard all these years.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 8, 2009 On Friday, fishing aboard the RELENTLESS was the Bob Wickman party from upstate New York. When they arrived on board after driving throughout the early hours they were greeted by Captain Curt and the mate Fred who had a box of Dunkin Doughnuts waiting for them. On a perfectly calm day these anglers landed their legal limits of cod and a few haddock using jigs in shallow water on the southern end of Stellwagen Bank. The fish were all market sized and spitting up herring and sand eels. These fish were all caught on jigs with grubs for teasers keeping Fred filleting all the way back to Green Harbor in Marshfield, MA. I want to personally thank Bob, George and the rest of the guys for fishing with us and we hope to see them back again in the future.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 3, 2009   On Sunday, the Jack Kelley party of six fished aboard RELENTLESS and unfortunately it was pretty much of the same as the day before with the group landing cod and haddock but nothing like we expect to see coming over the rail each trip. It was a long weekend for the Captain and crew along with the anglers on board. Some day you mark fish throughout the day and you just can not get them to bite. Hopefully, next week will improve providing better results for the anglers. We want to thank both parties for their patronage and hope they fish with us again and we promise much better results next time.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP May 2, 2009 On Saturday John Bradwell and his friend Tom came aboard with Chris, Kevin, Jerry and Mike in their party for a shared fishing trip aboard RELENTLESS. Unfortunately it was one of those rough days as we hammered shorts throughout the morning putting some haddock and cod in the box before making a fourteen mile move. Once there, we anchored up and caught fair numbers of haddock and cod sending these anglers home with some fish for the freezers but not in the numbers we like to see. They understood we did everything possible and it just was not our day and they vowed they would be back for a tuna and groundfish combination trip later this summer. Jerry landed the largest cod of the day and was all smiles when he landed a nice market sized codfish.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP April 26, 2009 Al Fichera holds a wolf fish he caught on board RELENTLESS On Sunday, Relentless Charters had on board a shared charter which consisted of repeat customers Alan Sharaf, Brookline, MA, Al Fichera, Taunton, MA, Jeff Ries, Hillsboro, NH, Alan Marks from Hull, MA and first timers Sherri and Tony Lipizzi also from MA. Leaving the dock at 0430 Capt Curt went to work once again picking codfish and haddock throughout the day both on jigs and teasers and fresh sea clams. The haddock turned on nicely at the tide change filling the fish box quickly. Al Fichera landed a nice wolf fish giving him a decent fight as it was fouled hooked in the tail. Sherri, landed quite a few haddock telling Tony they will definitely be back again. As with all of our shared charters all of the fish was divided evenly between the customers sending everyone home with bags of fresh fillets for the freezer. Capt Dom holds one of Sherri's haddock she landed using sea clams on board RELENTLESS   Tony and Sherry hold a few of the many haddock they landed on board RELENTLESS   Respectfully Capt.

COD TRIP April 25, 2009     On Saturday, regular customer and friend Bernie Thomas brought his group together from all over to fish for cod and haddock on board RELENTLESS. Ironically this group has all fished on board at one time or another including Mike from MA, Wayne from upstate NY and Anthony and John from Long Island. Captain Curt was behind the wheel with Capt Dom Petrarca who runs a great center console fishing for everything from fluke to swordfish and everything in between. At the first stop of the day, it was lock and load time as keeper codfish were flying over the rail at a steady pace. The wind was blowing pretty well out of the Southwest and Curt working the helm was able to keep this group of outstanding fisherman over the pile while Dom ran around crazy. After a few moves and limiting out on cod, they continued to jig and threw several more keeper cod back and landed some nice haddock to end the day. I want to personally thank Bernie for putting this group together along with the rest of the crew for a great day on the water. Bernie will be back again in a few weeks making sure his rod is bent with some more fish whacking his jig. Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP April 24, 2009 Jen shows off one of the many fine haddock she landed throughout the day. Fishing on board this Friday was repeat customer Wayne Wood from CT who brought with him his son Travis and daughter Jen along with friends Mike and Ron. You could not ask for anything better in April after a long cold winter. After steaming out to the east and finding very few fish we moved to the top of the bank and anchored up catching good numbers of cod and haddock. Most of the fish were caught on clams with some on the jigs and teasers sending everyone home with plenty of fillets for the freezer. Thanks Wayne for another great trip and have fun in that Conch of yours this season. I wish you the very best and hope you have a great 2009 season. Ron with a large bull haddock caught aboard RELENTLESS. Wayne Wood holds this haddock that he caught aboard RELENTLESS     Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP April 18, 2009   This group of anglers caught plenty of haddock on board the RELENTLESS to bring back home.   A nice haddock caught aboard the Relentless using a high low rig.   One of the many haddock landed this day on Relentless.   Respectfully Capt. Dave CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com www.relentlesscharters.com (781) 871-2113

COD TRIP April 10, 2009 The crew of the RELENTLESS had a great start to the 2009 season when repeat customer Tony Fantoli of CT stepped aboard with family and friends. Leaving the dock early and arriving east of the bank the action was primarily catching market cod on both clams and jigs. After a while a move was made to the south where good numbers of haddock were landed using fresh sea clams. At the end of the day there was plenty of fish for the coolers for this party of five. Tony stated they would be back and once again we thank them for fishing aboard RELENTLESS. If you are interested in going on a private of shared charter, contact us.   Respectfully Capt.
