  On the way home we were looking for a few bass and Shaun noticed birds working a pile of bait. As I got closer I told Terry on the Riptide to get over here now and break out the heavy artillery. I stopped the boat and shut off the engine. Between the tide and the tuna feeding on this massive school of pogies the fish were actually being pushed towards the boat. Terry came in and had his two anglers on and Shaun dropped a fish on the Shimano Butterfly Jigging Rod. As I was in the cockpit watching I noticed the bait was pushed alongside the hull and the tuna feeding on these pogies were within 10 ft of the boat. Greg reached into the water and was pulling pogies out with his bare hands. They soon went down and the we were on our way again towards home. Remember, RELENTLESS runs open boat and private trips for tuna fishing. IF you are interested in tangling with a great fish, give us a call or send me an e-mail.

  After steaming out east of Stellwagen Bank, the first drop of the day produced two wolf fish which was followed by many large haddock and cod being landed primarily on jigs.      CaptDave@relentlesscharters.com |

 On May 1st, repeat angler Ed Kelley from New Jersey along with three friends came aboard and had good numbers of cod and haddock on both jigs and bait. Last year, Ed and his crew had a banner day on haddock with a few steaker cod coming over the rail. This year the fish were all markets in the 6-8 LB range, but enough of them to send them home with good sized bags of fillets for the freezer.  On Friday, Mark Boutitte of MA fished bringing his father and four of his friends along. His 84 year old father is a great guy who brought along some nice custom made jigs for stripers as a gift for the captain. His jigs are some of the nicest homemade jigs that I have ever seen and his generosity is greatly appreciated. The fishing for Mark and his group was about the same as the day before with more haddock than cod being caught on the edge of Stellwagen Bank around the northeast corner. The fish hit both jigs and bait providing the group with plenty of fillets to take home to their families and friends. On Saturday Patrick Lynch and group returned again after fishing with us last year for the first time. Pat's group caught near legal limits of white bellied cod fish and haddock fishing the shallower waters of Stellwagen Bank. When we returned this group of anglers had plenty of fillets in their coolers for plenty of fish dinners. Before departing for the trip back home, they discussed booking next years trip now to get it on the books on a desired weekend. Currently RELENTLESS has availability for shared and private trips for cod, haddock, tuna and striped bass fishing. The dates for tuna are starting to fill quickly and it is recommended that you give us a call or e-mail to reserve a date to tangle with these fish. Last year's school bluefin tuna fishery was the best ever and we are looking at a repeat performance. |
  Tom Johnson was high hook with a nice codfish around 24lbs.Almost all the action was on the jig today. This group had a nice mix of cod and haddock fillets to take home. We did find a large school of pollock east of the bank but they were all shorts.   |
