back from mass
 

back from the green harbor, Mass trip with Vinnie, Capt. Rich from the jersey hooker Big T & Little T, overall fishing was sub par not like trips in the past.sunday weather was perfect threw back countless haddock only keeping our 3 fish limit per guy, rich got a wolffish which was released,not many keeper cod & only a few redfish, 4 diablo cockollas rounded out day.alot of action but not a freezer filler day. Day 2 we were greeted by 15-20kt east winds captain thought weather would be ok but we turned around 10 miles out after we had been pounded, came back to the dock to get stuff for winter flounder. got worms,which were nightcrawlers & some small hooks, no chum or blood or sand worms, went back out headed 8 miles north to another harbor froze our balls off for 3 flounder, 2 caught by yours truly the other by the mate. Plymouth was awesome food,chowder,booze but have had better fishing but oh well. camera sh!t the bed so no pics sorry

Sounds like you had fun! At least it was better then being at work!

Re: back from mass
 

Better off fishing with capt Denis better cod fishing and the quality can not come close and its alot cheaper and you sleep in your own bed Jersey cod on Jersey clams

Re: back from mass
 

3 fish limit on haddock? Haddock only has a size limit in MA and no bag limit.

That is the worst report I heard in a while . Next time go with a proven producer like Big Mac or .Com . Sorry you had a bad trip .

Re: back from mass
 

As of May 1st it has changed to 3 per man on Haddock. No reason to go to Mass anymore unless you are looking for giant blue fins

Re: back from mass
 

Considering you have to drive 3-4 hours there and pay $225 per person it's not worth the trip anymore for 3 haddock and 9 cod .

Re: back from mass
 

3-4 hours????????/// took us 7 to get there & only shoulda took 4 to get back but gw bridge but loved us & i got lost leaving ragusas dude lives in carcosa! i didnt get in til 4am

Re: back from mass
 

Next time I go for white hake in New Hampshire you come with us .If there ever was a meat trip that's it! No worms ,no limit on size or quantity and in my opinion better tasting then any other bottom fish .like giant ling but better and freezes well too.

Re: back from mass
 

I was on this trip...for anyone that does not know, my name is Jeff. It was my first time fishing with Jim and Bob on the Big Mac...and we had a blast. Jim and Bob busted their tail all day finding us fish and putting us on them. I started out slow, and picked it up as the day went on. They did a great job...and I can't wait to get out with them again. I would highly recommend the Big Mac to any NJfishing members, or any other fisherman as well! Thanks again Jim!!!

Re: back from mass
 

thanks jeff, enjoyed the day. best, capt. jim

Re: back from mass

Re: back from mass
